Another amusing classic from one of my favourite creative SF authors. (IMO Narrator is perfectly fine, he has done lots of SF and, most appropriately in this case, I found he kinda grew on me).
This reminds me of the Lambton worm legend. I guess in the middle ages we called aliens according to whatever ugly Earth creatures they resembled. Personally, I find this reader quite good and better than many others. The story soon makes you forget about reading style and focus on absorbing the brilliant horror of "the leach".
I think you mean the "Lambton Worm."
@@artmoss6889 Apologies, you are quite right, I have corrected and thank you 😊
Brilliant story.why can’t they write stuff like this for Netflix now ?
I suppose it’s the old saying, “why feed pigs cherries when they’re happy eating shit ?”......
How perfectly put... When did the public become so tolerant of shit? Compare the original Star Trek , made with a laughably small budget, to one of the current 5 or 6 iterations. The people are definitely dumber today.
One of the most horrifying stories ever.
Totally intelligent.
I loved this.
So good. Thanks!
Just as long as they don't land on the earth I suppose we'll be alright
Well, that's what explosions do: Throw debris into ALL directions...😮
Love the story but I have to comment that it is pronounced SKROON even though it is spelled Schroon Lake.
The blob much
:/ This guy really needs to stop narrating books until he learns how to talk. He makes the computer generated voices sound tolerable. wtf.
Grand Moff you're a judgmental a hole
I like the way he reads.
Grand Moff I like the way he speaks!
@@jangoleft But he is still right - is trying to sound cool, not to have what he reads be understood!
Shut up you.
