Another excellent one.

By now I should have gotten used to George Saoulidis short stories but it’s not possible because every one is so different and a whole new world.
As usual John York is an excellent choice for narration.
And as much as I love his short stories I also hate him because I want more every time.
The story itself is a great one no questions about that !

Recommended !!!



In exchange for an honest review I’ve received this audiobook.

Interesting modern twist

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The Book

Being only a short story this dives straight in setting the scene, it then delves into what becomes a techno horror of sorts with people wearing AR style masks projected via their 'techno eyes' so they see spooky Halloween masks and Halloween decorations. Its a blend of modern world and a futuristic setting that is quite believable what with Google glasses and such technology already have been developed. It soon goes wrong however as the projected items take on more of a life than they should and what should disappear once the party is over doesn't. Its a fun little story thats told well and is a nice modern twist on a horror story.

The Production

The narrator was good reading clearly and doing some ok voices, nice to have an english narrator too.

The spell wears off at sunrise

A short story written as if by an anthropology student in Athens to his mother recounting what has happened to him since donning a virtual reality mask for an Halloween party. Little happens externally; it it is the student's impressions that provide the spookiness.
This would probably have been more effective with an upbeat beginning and, certainly, it is not helped by narrator, John York. His English accented voice with a slight northern twang is very much a reading, unfortunately. Although his voice is pleasant, clear and well modulated, he somehow never gets into character. An alternative narrator, such as Barry Shannon (You Have Too Many Friends, by the same author) could have better set the atmosphere with a sense of far more unease.
Good idea which doesn't quite work. Read the book instead.

A very scary and very short story perfect for halloween. I finish listening before the trick and treater starts ringing the doorbell.
