Space Casket By Tony Walker

Ойын-сауық

This is one of my own from Further Ghost Stories. I haven't yet got round to recording them all. It is a rare venture into science fiction horror!
It contains sound effects that might annoy you if you use these stories to fall asleep to. So probably avoid using as a sleep story.
It's only short. I'd be interested to know what you think of it as it is not my usual classic gothic tale.
I quote from Bob Calvert's 10 Seconds of Forever and PXR-5 by Dave Brock and those who know will know I'm a long-standing Hawkwind fan!

    Well....I like it! I want to hear the whole story! The multiple narrators is good, and it adds to the feel and setting of the story. It is definately sci-fi, creepy, techy, and has me guessing and wanting to hear more. The background noises and sounds are amazing. I am getting the sense of multiple organisms and spacecraft being trapped by the "space spider" and eventually being consumed or merged together. Or, is it all a hallucination..... You really know how to draw us in! Fantastic story and narration.

I also appreciate the very interesting and appropriate sound effects which, to my mind, add immeasurably to the story. I am a bit of a sci-fi nerd and this is one of the best short stories i’ve read. Your use of language and metaphor is wonderful. Hope you continue to produce the occasional sci-fi gems such as this. As always, thank you for sharing your immense talent with us.

    What a fantastic story; horrifying and intriguing at the same time. I like the echoic effect which, to me, gives a feel of empty enclosed spaces. Thank you, Tony. The noises were background enough to not be annoying to me. Or maybe because I have reached the point in brain healing where the input from the right ear is now starting to register in the brain and hyperacuity is subsiding. Who was the female narrator? I found her voice pleasant.
