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

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Loved it

This was an introductory-offer freebie so I wasn’t expecting too much, and didn’t really fancy it going from the description, but unfortunately I’m now going to have to spend some pennies on the rest, as this was excellent…! The stories were witty and well, written, and the voice artist was really very good 🙂

Like Supernatural genre? Then get this...

If you like the whole supernatural genre, the reach back to late 19th/early 20th century characters and domains, then give this a try. A collection of short stories to introduce you to the Necromancer, it shows the style of writing from the author; his humour and prose is a lot of fun and the stories are original and dramatic.

A brilliant romp into the world of Necromancy

Beautifully written and beautifully read, this was a light-heated but elegantly "gothic" series of stories. Very compelling listening.

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.
