Customer Reviews
Waste of time
Not how a story should be told. The tale is like two minutes long, max. But they try and tell different versions. Not worth a listen.
The horror is always found in the details of the story
Cassandra’s story teaches us how narratives can change dramatically by adding and or removing details of a story all the while using the same basic beginning, middle and end. How there is so much more to stories than the bones and we need to learn to read and look for the small details. It was very interesting and the horror is truly found in the tiny details and my favourite is the bloody version. Story is retold 4 times and each one is dramatically different but the bare bones are exactly the same.
