Stories: All-New Tales audiobook edited by Neil Gaiman & Al Sarrantonio
Narrated by Euan Morton & ensemble cast (2010)
An ensemble cast of five narrators brings to life twenty-seven original works of imaginative fiction in this landmark anthology edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. Contributors include Lawrence Block, Jonathan Carroll, Jeffery Deaver, Roddy Doyle, Jeffrey Ford, Elizabeth Hand, Joanne Harris, Joe Hill, Diana Wynne Jones, Joe R. Lansdale, Michael Moorcock, Walter Mosley, Joyce Carol Oates, Stewart O’Nan, Chuck Palahniuk, Carolyn Parkhurst, Jodi Picoult, Tim Powers, Al Sarrantonio, Michael Marshall Smith, Peter Straub, Michael Swanwick, Gene Wolfe — and Neil Gaiman himself, who also reads his own contribution.
The anthology grew out of a shared conviction between Gaiman and Sarrantonio that the best fiction, regardless of genre, compels readers to keep turning pages — always asking the same four words: and then what happened?
The collection was nominated for the Locus Award for Best Anthology and the World Fantasy Award for Best Anthology, both in 2011.
Euan Morton narrates “Blood” by Roddy Doyle. A sample of his reading is available on SoundCloud: “Blood” by Roddy Doyle, read by Euan Morton.
