"A deliciously dark collation. 8/10" ( SciFiBulletin)
"The structure of the framing narrative calls to mind an audio version of the portmanteau films of Amicus studios. If you're a fan of classic, spine tingling horror then that should be reason enough to listen to Thirteen." ( GeekPlanetOnline)
"Nicely assembled...not a bad story or bad vocal performance amongst them. 3.5/5" ( SFX Magazine)
What did you like best about Thirteen? What did you like least?
A collection of 13 flash stories with an intriguing frame narrative. Flash fiction is an interesting medium, and this collection shows the broad range, from the O Henry to the Conte Cruel to the Shaggy Dog. It really started landing its punches with me about the halfway mark.The three I liked best:
HALF LIFE by Dan Abnett is the first one that really hit me. It’s an interesting take on haunting and how we continue to inhabit homes long after we've left them. It also includes a fascinating device of the Victorian mourning ring.
TABULA RASA by Alasdair Stuart felt like the B Reel story of an episode of Doctor Who in all the right ways.
ONE HIT WONDER by Kim Newman does a great job of exploring the haunting of both ghosts and failures. Is the damage caused by almost succeeding worse than that of always being a failure? Nice and impactful.

The book plays out as the store owner plays each of the oldies but chillys.
Overall, I found the stories satisying. Some stories hit me more than oathers. That is always the case with an anthology. There is a tale of a dead mother who sends letters from beyond the grave. Another has a jealous boyfriend tracking a rival to a salon, but the stray hairs in his girlfriend's sheets can't be solved with a trim on the top. Schoolboys are stranded in an underground maze. Then there is the mystery of the records. Where did they come from? What are these hidden tracks?
The production was excellent with some great Gramaphone SFX and incidental music. The readers were top-notch, with some Doctor Who alumni doing readings.
A really unique read. Concept very cool. Wish I could find another like this.
