Another most worthy offering

Would you consider the audio edition of HorrorBabble's Classic Horror: Volume 2 to be better than the print version?

Being that I first became acquainted to these readers through their works, I would say a bias is in place.

What was one of the most memorable moments of HorrorBabble's Classic Horror: Volume 2?

The Rats In The Walls features some very fine showmanship from Mr. Gordon.

What does Ian Gordon and Jennifer Gill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Per usual, neither fails to bring life to their readings. This holds true with the near-ending to The Rats in the Walls.

Who was the most memorable character of HorrorBabble's Classic Horror: Volume 2 and why?

Churlish though it will sound, I never fail to laugh at the absurdity of what Mr. De La Poer named his cat, and I never fail to salute Mr. Gordon's faith to the written story.

Any additional comments?

The only fault I can find in this and their other compilation is the lack of story titles in the chapter listing.

Excellent, looking forward to more!

Loved every moment! The Ensouled Violin I particularly enjoyed, the ending had me completely engrossed.

Great choices of story and great performances, my only comment is that, since you have access to both a male and female voice, use them for when male or female characters are speaking. Particularly in An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (Which was great otherwise, another of my favorites from this), Jennifer's male voice was a little jarring.

Other than that small detail, loved all of it and am looking forward to the next one :)
