Tales From the Vault, Volume One
Neil Colquhoun
Read by Neil Colquhoun
In 'Tales from the Vault', Scottish author Neil Colquhoun brings you a collection of 10 short stories that are linked by blood.
In 'Access Denied' a man who is continually being targeted by a gang of local kids finally takes the law into his own hands with disastrous consequences. ‘Blind’ will make you look twice at some of the people in your neighbourhood, especially sweet little old ladies. ‘The Debt Collector’ is a dark tale in which one man realises that all debts have to be collected regardless of the consequences. A character in 'Angel’ could really be what he thinks he is, or be something else completely. ‘Machine’ is a science-fiction story about a computer that will change the world. In ‘Genesis’, two men, The Boss and Kid A, are searching for a famous character who has floated away in space. ‘The Muse’ is a tale about a writer who has lost his inspiration and is looking for something to kick-start his creative process again. ‘Patient Number Two (Coma)’ is about wishing to live longer, not wanting to die and the dangers of a heart transplant. 'Afraid of Sunlight' has a stranger and a man who has memories of a dark period in his life. 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is a tale of love with no boundaries.
Be prepared to listen to things a bit weird, sometimes horrific, a little strange... but all have the same hybrid horror/sci-fi/fantasy mix that Neil Colquhoun does best.

Hey Neil, I love the style. Cliffhangers galore. It's what I was expecting with a title like this. Keep up the good work. My advice? Just keep doing what your doing . Some people just don't get the fact that tales like these are supposed to leave us in
Going to be looking twice at some of my neighbours!

Sometimes you find gems of short stories and this is one of them! Despite people saying about the ending I liked the ending of debt collecter. But my favourite is the one about the 'old and feeble' next door neighbour! The ninth tale (sorry I can't remember the name!) is particularly gruesome! My type of story! Will definitely be looking for vol. 2 and even though I'm English and Neil is Scottish his voice is perfect for these stories!

Love the stories and your reading style. I do have one minor request. Many of your stories just end. Access Denied, Blind and Debt collector could have had much more added to it. Debt Collector had a rough cliffhanger and left me needing more. My advice would be to broaden ...

stupid music
Max
what made you think adding the stupid music was going to do? Horrible music and random chimes every 3-5 minutes makes this unlistenable.
WOW!!!
