The stories aren't bad.

Emma has read other short stories on audible. She's not bad or a great reader. She is slightly above average with a hint of some more sparkle for a fiction narrator than a news reader. The 16 horror stories by moorse and Sean etc are a little more profound than Emma's other classic stories read by Emma.
