Cyberpunk Fairy Tales: Volume 1

By: George Saoulidis

Narrated by: Steve White

Listen to the Cyberpunk Fairy Tales, a unique twist on the classic stories you grew up with. Sometimes dark and disturbing like the Grimm stories, other times new and relevant to the modern age.

This is Volume 1, containing:

• "The Impossible Quest of Hailing a Taxi on Christmas Eve" - A modern retelling of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
• "Nanodaemons: The Fir Smart-Tree" - A modern retelling of “The Fir Tree”, by Hans Christian Andersen.
• "Ariadne’s String" - A short story based on the myth of the Labyrinth.
• "Berenice’s Hair" - A cyberpunk short story, the myth of Coma Berenices retold.
• "The Little Match Girl" - A cyberpunk retelling of “The Little Match Girl”, by Hans Christian Andersen.

Darkly amusing

A very modern take on several traditional fairy tales, in true cyberpunk fashion, often with some dark humour.
Narration could have been better though, the heavy accent and narrow range of characterization takes away from the stories and obscures the author's talent for storytelling somewhat.

O.K.!

It was okay. I have read numerous books by this author and have to admit that this is not as entertaining as the others. The narration was good! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
