And My Life was my favorite too. Maybe there's a reading of it up somewhere!<br /><br />Dooliterature - It sure would! And Feeders was a great Halloween story. So creepy!<br /><br />Kailana - Me too. I think I'm missing out on some of the enjoyment by not listening to a few of these.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-6834284477531770822011-10-16T19:02:58.685-07:002011-10-16T19:02:58.685-07:00I actually think My Life would be worth listening ...I actually think My Life would be worth listening to on audio.

It would make for a good one, wouldn't it? <br /><br />I couldn't figure out what the woman in Feeders and Eaters was supposed to be, either. Cannibal, sure, but only if we can determine if she's human or not... Scary story. I loved it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-28308575988297079182011-10-16T12:39:26.198-07:002011-10-16T12:39:26.198-07:00Diseasemaker's Croup is a bit of nonsense, but...Diseasemaker's Croup is a bit of nonsense, but fun nonsense. It works so much better, in my opinion, on the audio version of the book. Fun to hear Gaiman perform it.<br /><br />Feeders and Eaters is disturbing but in the good way that I like from horror stories. I don't need all the gory details, just a hint or two of the madness will do. I find this a very, very effective horror story.<br /><br />If you've seen some of Berry's digital art, the stuff that in some ways has a kinship to McKean's art, I think it would actually work really well with these stories. I'd so love to see an illustrated version of this. Gaiman does such a great job with these vignettes painting various pictures of the vampire culture. <br /><br />My Life is my favorite from this week. Gaiman reads it with such skill that when the end comes you cannot help but want to keep buying him drinks for more stories.Carl V.
