About this listen
Welcome to Tom Slemen's Tales of the Weird, a journey into the chilling sphere of the supernatural where you will encounter, vampires, werewolves, and even the Devil himself....
Here are just some of the things you will hear about in Tales of the Weird: A centuries-old demonic royal rapist.... A happily-married woman who became possessed by three strange personalities - including that of a nymphomaniac.... The terrifying power of the Evil Eye, which could be upon you at this moment.... so how do you deflect its lethal powers? The unearthly figures from a tapestry who abduct people.... The many well-documented visits of a Reaper-like being who comes to collect those who have an appointment with death....will he be coming for you soon? The bizarre and creepy entity that latches onto people it sees in cafes.... The spinechilling story of a clown doll that returned from its little cemetery grave.... Peculiar reports of TARDIS-like time machines, apparently from the future.... The amazing case of the man who travelled 4000 miles to meet a soul mate - all because of a strange dream.... The sinister vampire stalking Hollywood - who is he? The gifted child who could create terrifying wild animals through sheer willpower.... The stomach-churning execution and detainment of an evil witch in Knowsley.... The eerie beings from beyond that are out to snatch children.... The catastrophic weather-control experiment which involved the British Army and Stonehenge.... The Orgisher - the nightmarish entity which has driven thousands of people to commit suicide.... Just some of the unearthly, horrifying but fascinating stories unearthed by the unrivalled master of the supernatural - Tom Slemen, in Tales of the Weird!

Entertaining but strange delivery
The actual work itself is fine - a very wide ranging and eclectic grab bag of strange and entertaining yarns that cover anything from demons and ghosts to aliens and alternate dimensions.
The narration however is a strange tale in itself - the generic American accent and inflectionless delivery couples with emphasis put on random words in the sentence, which makes the end result sound like a text to speech machine that's had multiple takes spliced together. As others have noted, the accents are a little distracting due to them being so inauthentic, but as long as you can put that aside, it's an entertaining listen

Tall tales.
If you could sum up Tales of the Weird in three words, what would they be?
Entertaining weird tales.
What other book might you compare Tales of the Weird to, and why?
Most of Robert Rankin's far fetched fiction. Some of the stories are creepy and beyond belief.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of RK Meier?
Someone with a Liverpool accent!! RK Meier's American drone just doesn't work for me!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Mainly I found it all a bit OTT but very entertaining.
Any additional comments?
The audible book suffers from a poor narration with an American accent. I used an audio book credit on this one and if it wasn't for the fact I found the stories interesting I would have returned it.

stories are great, narrator is irritating
The book is brilliant as all haunted Liverpool books are, but the narrator is irritating. The American accent doesn't suit the book, and his speech is very slow it's terribly frustrating.
It also feels like he is reading to children, and his 'accents' are terrible, every character sounds cockney?! The narrator really puts me off the book . . .
