UNCANNY

The title more than captures the theme of this collection of amusing short stories from Down Under. Stig Wemyss skillfully narrates comical tales that catch the listener unawares and delivers surprises at every turn. These unusual yarns include tattoos that move from one person to another, flying dogs, remotes that control people, and a haunted dump. Wemyss's Australian idioms and accent add to the charm of these refreshingly original stories. His narrating skills are a perfect match for the works. Already popular in Australia, these tales promise to be well liked wherever they're heard. D.L.M.
