The Virgin Of The Boulevard

Love listening to Yearsley’s narration, he’s perfect! (But in “The Northern Trail”, with the other reader, she constantly inhales so loudly it’s all you can pay attention to, I couldn’t finish listening...)

Yearsley!

First of all the narrator is GREAT:
“Dark And Deep” took complete control of my mind, drew me all the way in, and gave me the willies the rest of the night.... because, secondly, the writing is SPOT ON:

It takes a great voice to deliver, but it was truly brilliant writing that worked WITH that voice to freak me out and amaze me ~

Nice!! CREEPYTales...
