It's more of a humor piece than real mystery, Gesine, so you be the judge:

PL is OK. I think this would fit better in the Short Story Collection. The current edition is full, but one will be open soon. If you like, I can watch out and submit it for you there when that happens. Please let me know.

Edit!!


I've listened to A Thousand Deaths and there is one small glitch:

At 6:10 stumble "gau gauge" in “In the centre of this was a vacuum gauge.”

Very creepy story and full of horror. Well read.

Betty
Oh thanks, Betty, very helpful. I'm really behind with my PL. It sounds from your notes that this will fit better in the Short Horror Collection. I shall move it there.

Thanks!

Thanks, will PL shortly. This might fit better in the Horror and Ghost Stories collection, though. I'll see.

I notice you increased the number of submissions for this collection so I thought I’d throw the next Philo Gubb story on the pile:

Title: The Chicken

By the way: I found this at Literary Gothic and was originally looking for something for the ghost and horror collection but I think it's much more appropriate as a mystery since there's nothing freaky or ghostesque or the like. Just let me know if you think it's in the right spot!! thanks :)

Yes, thanks. It was in a book of mysteries but not sure why they included it. :?:

Welcome to LibriVox! There's no signing up for this project. Please read the first post of this thread carefully.

Please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue when you post a recording. We can also link to a personal web site/blog.

Also, if this is your first recording, we ask that you send in a 1-minute test recording. This is not an audition, it's just to make sure the sound quality and the recording settings are all right - often things can be improved at the outset that are difficult to fix later. Please go to this wiki page to find out what to record for your 1-minute test, and how to upload the recording. In the LibriVox Uploader, please select 'tests - tests' from the MC drop-down, and then post your test recording in the Listeners Wanted forum, rather than in this thread - you'll get feedback more quickly there.
