thank you John, I will have a listen soon and give you feedback, so stay tuned in case there are any corrections to be made. Can you tell me how long the section is so I can update the Magic Window correctly ?

Also please be careful with the filename. Each project has an example of how to name the file correctly, in the first post. Yours should have been: blackcat0201oct1896_1_various_128kb. But no need to reupload right away, I will first check the recording and see if there are other mistakes.

Thank you

Sonia

so, finally, I took the time to listen to this wonderfully chilling story.

The beginning had the ingredients of the haunted house mystery and the ending was simply fascinating. I was rooting for Sam to be proven innocent. And excellent story and wonderfully narrated, thank you so much, John ! I'm happy to have you read in this magazine.

I have only a few small corrections to add:

> at 0:24: you forgot the second part of the intro and the title/author: "The Black Cat Vol. 02 No. 1 October 1896. Section 1. The House that Jack built, by Harold Donovan Hilton"

> at 11:10: (p. 5) "a hall of fifty by thirty feet" – I don't hear "feet" at the end, you may have cut it off by mistake

> at the end you have nearly 7 seconds of silence, please cut down to the standard 5 seconds

> and since you have to reupload anyway, please change the filename to the correct one for this project: blackcat0201oct1896_1_various_128kb

thank you

Sonia

and thank you Sarah, for such a lovely narration of a rather sad story though.

Stories that deal with cruelty to animals always get to me a lot. Poor Prince ! The ending is tragic.

Still: it's wonderfully and flawlessly narrated and can be marked PL ok right away.

Your voice is a great addition to the group of Black Cat narrators.

Thank you, Sonia! The end really took me by surprise the first time i read it through. I was also saddened by how it ended

but it was still a fun read!
Great to hear it's all set! I look forward to any more Black Cat readings in the future!

Sarah
