Phenomenal Stories

Phenomenal stories. I’m going to listen to these again. Singer is an accomplished storyteller. His tales are old and deep, filled with witches, werewolves, and ghosts. These are tales that feel as if they have been around for centuries. They always engaged me. I highly recommend this book.

Gimpel the Fool

The stories are great. Read by Bickel is not to be missed. I’m a fan.

Incredible narration

Wish I could give 10 stars to the narrator. He read the stories with such character. I will look for other books by this wonderful man. Thank you.

Last story is nightmarish

Last story is worst than a snuff film.
The sound of a bell ringing can not be unheard. The last story is so full of abuse as to require a warning for explicit violence and degradation. The other stories do not go as far into the darkness.
