Note: American and British spelling ahead. A few stories words are olde English, too. The story "The Death of Mrs. Billen" by Mr. Alatorre is from his novel An Angel on Her Shoulder, used with permission.

Some stories were way too short, they were all read very well, but all by the same reader, which had the effect of a lot of them were flowing into each other… Fine for a feature length book but not for short stories because of character definition. On the whole it was entertaining. Personal impressions, about 16 of them, were, in the main, all pretty good but the shorter titles, (10 minutes or less) were "shelf fillers".

A bit like the "curates egg"
