À propos de ce contenu audio

Four original, unabridged, full-cast productions of Gail Carriger's most beloved fantasy short stories:

"The Curious Case of the Werewolf That Wasn't, the Mummy That Was, and the Cat in the Jar": A mummified cat, a secret agent, and an aristocrat entangle Alessandro Tarraboti (father of Alexia Tarraboti from the Parasol Protectorate series) in a rollicking, wry adventure into the supernatural secrets of ancient Egypt.

"Marine Biology": Inconveniently a werewolf, unexpectedly alive, and secretly gay, marine biologist Alex finds himself forcibly shackled to a flirty merman on the hunt for some sinister selkies. An unconventional romance between impossible partners told with the kind of wit and comedy that made Gail a household name.

"Fairy Debt": Despite being a fairy, Cups can't grow wings due to a death promise to a local king. Entering service in his castle as the Least Jester, she must find a way to earn her wings while navigating the hazards of cupcakes, tea demons, and the occasional Earth dragons.

"My Sister's Song": Fantasy, history, and subversive strategy collide in this Roman-era tale of a warrior, Mithra, who must repel an entire legion alone and armed only with a very peculiar weapon. Her sticky solution to this impossible problem must be heard to be believed.

Featuring performances by fellow fantasy writers Philippa Ballantine, Chris Lester, and Tee Morris as well as an original soundtrack by composer Danny Schade.

This is mostly painful to listen to and the stories are sometimes too rushed.

Marine biology: the story is so rushed that the pace murder it. The concept was intresting but it deserved more time to develop. The directing... oh boy. Too many sound effects, especially to differentiat thoughts and spoken words. it's hard to liscent to. it's way too much.

Fairy debt: slow. the. f. down. that a xanax. I know that the narrator is the fairy, but it's not enjoyable to listen to. And the fx makes voices impossible to understand.

My sister's song: this was by far the easiest to understand. That story is cute. it just doesn't do much for me. this is personal taste.

The case of the werewolf: it is nice too meet Sandy, get a sence of who the man was. Makes me want to see him interact with Lyall. The story is fast but it's not an issue here. But there are the same directing flaws as for marine biology.

I don't fully regret the purchase because I love the author, but good God the directing didn't not make this enjoyable.
