Really good fun.

Lots of little stories with humour and devilish stuff.
A good narration too.
Well worth a listening to.

Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams and Lovecraft in 1

I had so much fun listening to this. I was new to the author but for sure will be listening to more from him. The turn of phrase he has is truly reminiscent of Douglas Adams and I'm surprised I hadn't come across him before. Fantastic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Well performed and entertaining

Nicholas Guy Smith performs this book very well. It is almost like he is not there, his acting is so natural.

The stories are tightly written and set in a world similar to the Hammer films. The characters are good, dialogue amusing and plots interesting.

Full marks

Ghoulishly good

This was my first encounter with Johanes Cabal, the charismatic necromancer. I will definitely be returning for more. The narration was perfect, and overall I would throughly recommend!

An unexpected delight

A very enjoyable set of short stories about a necromancer. Funny and oddly touching at times. Beautifully read.

Hilarious

Genuinely amusing, polished and dark. Thoroughly recommended for those who like their horror presented with a degree of verve.

Funny, quirky and well written

I surprisingly enjoyed this… really wasn’t sure but included.
Funny, well written and narrated… short stories.
Though so saying they didn’t feel short and we’re really well told.

captivating and imaginative set of stories

This book was my introduction to the world of Mr Cabal now I want to read every book with him in. I binge listened to it and could do so again. disappointed only two other books are available on audible.
