What to expect
Blackstone Audio presents an eclectic mix of stories, plays and sketches dedicated to the thinking paranoiac. Gore, sex, horror, literature and edifying morals—what more could you want from an audiobook?
This collection includes "In a Grove," upon which Akira Kurosawa based his classic film, Rashomon; an adult fairy tale by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh; the real story (honest!) behind Edgar Rice Burroughs's novel The Moon Maid; and cautionary and scary tales from Arabian Nights, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Mark Twain, and others.
Critics Review
-
“Expect everything but a typical delivery from the Hollywood Theater of the Ear’s cast…There are fourteen stories in the collection, each brought to shrieking, howling, door-banging life…Each member of the Hollywood Theater brings something to this collection of adult tales.”
