Terrible narration great stories

The narrators, especially for the first and last stories were abysmal! But the stories were really very good. I am a sucker for a bookshop tale, so I listened through the bad performances.

Very short little novellas

How can writers I admire put out such forgettable and time wasting drivel. Read with caution
