Resumen del Editor

Speculative novelist H.G. Wells wrote engaging short fiction dealing with the strange, the unsettling, and the unknown. Here, Ralph Cosham lends his narrative expertise to 5 classic tales. "The Strange Orchid" concerns a horticulturist who must contend with the macabre appetites of an exotic orchid. "The Truth About Pyecraft" explains why an overbearing fat man wears lead underwear. "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" recounts the problems with defying nature. "The Purple Pileus" deals with a life-altering fungus. Finally, in "Aepyornis Island," a man has a special relationship with a prehistoric bird.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wells exploits the baroque nature of British speech, his characters telling first-person tales that are prone to unexpected curves and twists. [Cosham's reading] is dry-witted and droll, giving these literary chestnuts an acerbic bite." (Publishers Weekly)

hideous sound quality - should be free

this is unlistenable. it is terrible. i cant stand it. i have never heard anything so terrible on audible. this is the bottom of their collection. i cant believe they charge money for this.

now be assured, friend, i like "vintage" programs. i like those that are old and those that sound old. but this is not vintage, this is garbage.

and and and it will not instant return; i have to call the operators to make the exchange.

geeeezzz
