The End of Everything

EP: 138

I know this story when it was broadcast on Christmas Day bummed some people out but I’ve listened to it now twice and I very much love it a lot. I’m thankful to Greg van Eekhout for writing it and to Escape Pod for making a science fiction short story audio podcast of it. Stephen Eley, dorky as he is, does a beautiful job with the reading.

I’m still going to do an ill.Exposed on Escape Pod and praise the site for doing what it does as well as singling out the best stories read by the best people. The narration with audio books can make or break a story, this is both a very good and a very bad thing. It’s like if the wrong person performs Hamlet for you, you might firmly forever conclude that Shakespeare couldn’t write for shit.

Listen please and enjoy.
These are my details.
