The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

[Samfan]

I just finished listening to "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and other Tales of Terror." I really liked MK's voice in these, particularly the first 2 stories ("Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "The Body snatchers"). To me, his voice sounded rather "gravelly" (particularly in the first story), which I liked; however, at times I did feel like saying, "clear your throat!"










My least favorite story was the third one, "Olalla." It was just hard for me to follow, and I admit I didn't listen to it as closely as I did to the other stories. I did keep thinking that this was a vampire story, especially when the mother bites the narrator's bleeding arm, but vampires are never mentioned. Although, a wikipedia article about the story mentions vampires:

I listened to Olalla again. Still found it hard to follow. Maybe it just Stevenson's style of writing. Liked MK's reading, of course. Maybe if I listen for 3rd time one day I'll finally 'get' it completely.

I wouldn't usually listen to stories in the horror genre, but I was, as usual,
completely captivated by the wonderful voice of Mr.K which made this rather
weird, haunting tale of Olalla a joy to listen to.
