Hall of Mirrors

Tales of Horror and the Grotesque
“... the image begins to move and stir, like slow mercury; our reflections swirl in the sinuous liquid of the glass until it starts to still. And slowly, as it settles, we see not ourselves, but... an English garden: nothing grand, nothing stately, just the private suburban garden of a private suburban home. The sun is shining, the birds are singing and from somewhere out of sight the sound of children’s laughter carries through the shimmering surface of the glass. Shall we pass through, you and I, into this world, or would you prefer to turn away? All we need do is step forward through the frame and into this summer's day. Here, reach through... Can you feel the sun’s heat on the skin of your hand? How can you resist?” |

Reviews and comments
"This is the way horror audio should be done: Mike Bennett's podcast storytelling is an EXCEPTIONALLY GENEROUS free treat for the ears and the mind. Listen to the Hall of Mirrors, and you'll feel his dark and twisted imaginations fingering their way into your ear canals, his remarkable voice prying into your brain in the most creepiest and unforgettable of ways. Hall of Mirrors is a refreshingly fun experience, that's well worth downloading -- you'll love every strange and grotesque moment!"
-- Michael Arnzen, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Proverbs for Monsters
"The Stephen King of the U.K... But with a better voice."
Octopon (iTunes Customer Reviews)
"An astounding voice talent that puts one in mind of horror greats Vincent Price or Peter Cushing, where delivery and presentation were as integral as the material itself."
