The Destructors and Other Stories

By: Graham Greene

Narrated by: Stephen Thorne

From a childish fear of the dark in "The End of the Party" to the chilling conclusion of the "Destructors" and the all-consuming selfishness of "May We Borrow Your Husband", this collection opens with three of Greene's most disturbing stories. Things take a surreal turn in "Under the Garden" before finally blossoming for a moment in "Two Gentle People", then there's a detective story and a brush with Greene's sardonic wit to finish.

Extremely enjoyable and easy to dip in and out of...

• "The Destructors"
• "The End of the Party"
• "Under the Garden"
• "A Discovery in the Woods"
• "May We Borrow Your Husband"
• "Mortmain"

It was ok

Some of the stories were alright. Overall it was pretty mediocre. Mostly just old people reminiscing about how they misremember their younger life.

Pretty good collection .

Really enjoyable stories and loved the narrator's voice!! A real must for Graham Greene fans.

the distructors

this book is a fantastic journey into the imagination. I was made aware of worlds with in worlds.

Strange Stories

A series of strange, otherworldly stories in the mode of Roald Dahl or Shirley Jackson.

Graham Greene

Its easy to forget what a great writer he was till you read the short stories. I find the last two a little thin. He isn't as good at the short more fanciful ones more appropriate for the Twilight Zone. But maybe in their day they were amusing. But the rest are enjoyable. Very entertaining.
