Eleven Classic Short Stories
A slim volume podcast collection of eleven classic short stories read by Mike Bennett. This podcast features six stories from Saki (H.H. Munro), including Gabriel-Ernest, The Open Window, and Sredni Vashtar. Also included are tales from H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and a rarely-heard gem from Mark Twain, The Cannibalism in the Cars.
Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque Volume 1
A collection of modern Gothic short stories, delivered in a style that pays homage to Night Gallery, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and the old British horror anthology movies of the 1960s.
Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque Volume 2
Return to the ruined pier at the farthest, darkest edge of the Internet and accompany Mike Bennett back into the Hall of Mirrors.
This time around we have hell and damnation in 'Salvation'; a petty criminal in a tight spot in 'Give Me a Hundred'; something in the woods in 'The Green Man'; a revolting comedy featuring two men and a dog in 'Dessert'; a cockroach problem in 'The Exterminators; and a ship bound for bloodshed in 'Night Crossing'.
One Among the Sleepless
Is it Peter Reynolds, mild-mannered office clerk pouring petrol through his neighbour's letterbox in the middle of the night?
Is it Wayne Dolan, a man who discovers strange, unsociable uses for his own urine - and an even stranger desire for the lady upstairs with the whip?
Or is it Dusty, a mysterious vagrant who views the world through a pair of 1966 Balorama wrap sunglasses?
Mick Nixon wants to find out, because people are disappearing. And if he and Sally are ever going to share more than just sandwiches, he'd better hurry up, or they could be next.
Sometimes
Readings of classic short stories, with selections of music.
Underwood and Flinch
For hundreds of years, the eldest born male of the Flinch family line has been servant and guardian to the vampire, Lord Underwood. In 1958, a world-weary Underwood lies down to rest for fifty years. Now that the time for his resurrection has come, the world has changed considerably - and so has the Flinch family. David Flinch - the last man to want the role of guardian, is now the first in line for it. He travels to the family home in Spain to face a terrible dilemma: Will he resurrect and serve the vampire as his family expects? Will he pass the role to his murderous sister, Lydia? Or will he do the world a favour, and destroy Underwood before he rises again? David's choice will determine not only Underwood's fate, but also the lives of the people in the nearby town of Almacena and the wider world beyond. Because if Underwood rises - they're all on the menu!
