Awesomely grotesque!

I absolutely loved this collection of short stories. It had a number of short, easily digestible tales as well as some movie-length epics that will leave you shuddering! Fantastic stories, the vast majority of which are absolutely worth listening to again.
My only complaint is with the performance, which is really great overall, I just found myself getting terribly annoyed with the ‘female’ voice the reader puts on. We’re women, not weirdly breathy Barbies, and yet everyone female from the little girls of the story to accomplished scientists to powerful sea sorceresses are all given a mildly “bimbo” -ish voice and cadence, like everything is just really dreamy.
Apart from that the different MALE character voices are fantastic. Wish the women were a fraction as good and varied.
But yeah, get this book! I am starting it over right now!
