As usual, it's too good to sleep to. Perfect for a rainy, cold grey autumn-like day--in April. Nature can be so fickle. Thanks for giving us a smile.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

Each of these stories was delightful but I enjoyed the last story of the confirmed bachelor the most. So fun. And so well read. Tony, you really have a gift.

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

Not sure how much sleep I will get but after 2 weeks of pneumonia and sleepless nights I am enjoying these immensely.

[@AndreaDingbatt]

My sympathy, for you!! Pneumonia is a miserable illness!! And ,,the only thing to recommend it ~ Is a swift recovery from the darned lurgy!! I hope that you are feeling better very soon!!

[@boxfox2945]

Hate breathing water, I don't care for pretending to be a fish. Had it awhile back. From vapeheads, spewing that pioson. Now' I try avoiding the fog of crackheads. Took months to recover.

[@keithmccready3158]

The narrator has an excellent voice and it was very enjoyable to listen to him. I also felt that the stories were Well written and interesting. I also like very much,The dark screen as I am listening to this at bedtime. Please keep up the good work.

[@FidgetAndFreon]

"Honeysuckle Cottage" was a pure delight! I'm so glad I wasn't listen to this whilst trying to sleep as I would keep rousing myself by laughing. Thank you!

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

“Do you believe in goats?”. Always loved Wodehouse.

[@TinaDevereux-vr6qe]

Love Honeysuckle Cottage. It is a true comedic creation by PG.

[@kodyroberts2840]

So glad you showed up when looking for horror comedy narrations. Thank you. I've heard a few and crave it now.

[@michellebastiani6470]

The last story was absolutely adorable 😅 I'm sick and have been in bed since yesterday evening and that story put a smile on my face. Anything that can do that while I'm having one of my migraines must be truly special. I adored everything about that story, even how it made me feel like a gooey lovey sap 😂

[@mjrussell414]

Okay, so I confess that I fell asleep in the middle of the first story, and woke up when dawn hit in the middle of the last story, so now of course, I have to replay them so I can actually enjoy the stories. But geez, I just knew the final one just had to be at least inspired by P.G. Wodehouse - a favourite author from my youth when the Jeeves and Wooster television series came out. I bought every book of his I could find and then do tater them to my local library once read, so others could enjoy them as much as I did.

[@cannett8966]

When ever I have a task, I hate, I listen to you. It makes it go so much quicker. Sometimes, I really wish I could do like P. G Wodehouse's characters and move in to the Dorchester! Instead, I live in a rabbit warren and it must be tidy up. Cee from the little haunted cottage in ireland 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀

[@michelletauson2867]

TY for the black screen. I loved this grouping of stories.

[@lesleykaygosson315]

That was incredible! I love these longer compilations. You are absolutely fantastic when you perform each of the characters in different but perfect accents. These stories were different, unique, charming and yes have their humorous moments. 😉❤️

But now I just saw these markers are also in the description box. Nice reading! Thank you.

Thank you, nice person.

[@evelanpatton]

As I used to get frustrated until I figured this out, I thought I’d see if my “relief” might assist you as well. If tap anywhere besides the area of the #link, the Title box area will open the Description Box, so you CAN get to it other than pressing the “more…” text. The “more…” text gets too close to the #link font & the click area is very persnickety! I hope my suggestion works for you too. I really enjoy having access to the extra details & the SHOW TRANSCRIPT button too. ⚛️

me too - I really wanted to get to know John Simmons better! because of the voice and have to say the humourous story. Looked up the author and he wasn't a very light hearted chap apparently though you'd never know it!

[@elizabethcarreker-downs6061]

Great narration as always, Tony! I absolutely love Middleton’s The Ghost Ship and I listen to it often. Such a wonderful sense of humor for the man to be so depressed that he committed suicide 😢

Loved the ghost pirate ship story!!!! Wish there was a sequel to that story lol. Love your narrations and choice of ghost stories. Thank u for all the hard work u do for us, ghost lovers. I grew up in a haunted house. My whole family had episodes of strange experiences. Never was hurt just scared the heck out of us sometimes. Miss my childhood home. Altho still standing it has been remodeled and the yard so destroyed that it no longer resembles my childhood home from the past. So in a way both my parents and my home have passed away many years ago.❤❤😢

An excellent selection of stories, beautifully read! Being a huge fan of P. G. Wodehouse, I especially liked the last story.
