Hi, I have now REMOVED THE ADS from this long story (apart from beginning and end). I had posted it and KZbin had kindly put lots of ads (which they partly pay me to be fair), but there were complaints so I've taken them out. Of course if you wanted to support me for my work (if you do already *thank you*!) please consider becoming a channel member. See button by the video.

It's annoying as I have prime, I *think* you get something from that, but if it's mostly going to "them", I wish they had to be as honest as they expect the content creators to be. I hope I'm helping in some way. I shouldn't even be paying for prime right now, but I can semi-justify it because my toddler and I listen to albums & stories together. But... I don't like the idea that they could be taking my coin and stealing a huge chunk out of it from the people that make them. Anyway. /End rant. Thank you for all of your hard work and for providing us with a calm we have trouble finding elsewhere. 🖤

The sense of disconnectedness and tension is what gets me - not jump scares but more a building dread (especially when you know the ending!). Thanks for doing this Tony!

You have a magnificent voice, perfect phrasing, and just enough acting to be entertaining without distracting from the narrative.

This has been my favorite classic scary movie since I was a kid. I have always favored old houses & grew up in a wonderful, if modest, turn-of-the-century home complete with nooks to crawl into & windows to crawl out of. I spent a good deal of the movie yearning for a place like that. As an unrelated side note, I'm a Coloradan & in the early 80's the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, the hotel The Shining was modeled on, was bankrupt, closed a lot of the time & they were trying to sell rooms as time-shares, which wasn't going well. I went up to meet with the managing team to kick around ad ideas. The Shining had been out for several years by then and not one room was rented. I stayed alone in the place overnight -- the only "guest". No front desk after 9, no janitor. A caretaker in another house. Very nice but squeaky, creaky, & absolutely fun. I didn't see twins or anything.

i love you i love you this book is amazing and you read it in such exquisite emotion, which made it quite easy for the listeners and readers it understand and better engage in the book. i am someone who does not particularly find interest in a willingness to read voluntarily, so when i was assigned to read this book i immediately came here and it saved me so much time. your emotion to the characters, which you can very clearly distinct the voice of each character when speaking, made it so much easier to understand which also made it easier for me to follow along. your emotion and tone made the story feel alive, immersive, in a way other readers dont, often times other readers sounding emotionless and monotone, which can very easily disinterest readers and not feel the story envelop their surroundings. i can not get over how much you helped me, this book was truly one i would not have put down if it werent for my other assignments i had to finish. the slow descent into madness, the insanity that slowly started to develop, the way elenore died without a happy ending, especially without a family who loved her, all she wanted was family and she died without one, engulfed in her own overwhelming solitude. it was truly heartbreaking, and i couldnt help but let out raw emotions peaking the end of the story. your voice was firm yet calming, riling with emotion, and i cant thank you enough for letting me experience such an amazing story in the right way, with feeling.
