Great Stories!!

I LOVED these stories! Mr Cory really writes some great short stories that are rather unique. Most are a bit on the dark side, but they all are quite enjoyable! Very reminiscent of Ambrose Bierce. The readers all did a fine job to boot! Any fan of Bierce is guaranteed to love these stories also! Great writing and great reading make this selection five stars in my book! Download and listen, I promise you won't be disappointed!
