Hello Listeners

It's that time of the month again - the time when something drops into your inbox from me. And this time it's me reading Mark Twain's story, 'The Cannibalism in The Cars'. It was, I don't mind telling you, a b****** of a task. It took innumerable takes and left about a million cuttings on the cutting room floor, but finally, it's done. I don't even know if it's any good or not at this stage - I listened through it this morning and I was almost speaking along with it - I know the words so well. Anyway, for better or worse, here it is. Bon apetit ...

I have been listening to this, it is pretty good. Starla Hutchton does a good job in both the story and narration.

Thanks, this is a nice "place holder" until we get back to the U&F main event.  You are a very good voice actor and reader as well as a good writer of course!  I still go back and listen to Hall of Mirrors stories from time to time.

Thanks, Gumbywan.

There are 8 more Sometimes stories further down in my iTunes feed. If you like Poe, Lovecraft, Saki etc, you may find something to tickle your fancy :-)

Great stuff.

Hey Mike great stuff once again, very entertaining. Your american twang kept bringing back fond memories of Rick & Leanne in One among the sleepless.

indeed, you sounded like you

indeed, you sounded like you were trying so hard on a few of those lines in the beginning. i could practically hear you're eyebrows waggling and you're head bobbing when you said them.

I was trying hard. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who email me telling me I've f**** up this or that word. I don't mind that - in fact I welcome it as it helps me improve my performances, but I try my utmost to avoid getting it wrong in the first place.
