I came here after reading the first three Stranger Times novels. There are a whole bunch of short stories to hear, that are all well written, well read and thoroughly enjoyable.

These podcasts are like getting free Audible books every episode! Fantastic stories and an outstanding series of narrators. I bought The Stranger Times (which itself was a cracking listen) and went in search of more by the same author and I feel like I hit a seam of gold!
