  • Dark Seeds
    Outstanding!
    The listener is transported to the myriad worlds of terribly interesting authors by the sublime narration rendered by Mr Spike. These are stories from other times and places, brought to vivid life, or death, with flair and gravity, ever revering in the prose and poetry, befitting these wondrous stories. Mr Spike’s sonorous voice is the perfect delivery for these stories of eldritch tales.

    Fantastic Readings Of Classic Tales Of The Weird
    The narrator has a delightful voice and is rather skilled at reading aloud in an entertaining fashion. The recordings are very clean, with no distracting sounds. The subject matter is very good. This podcast is an excellent way to introduce young people to these old tales. During a ride, for instance.
