About this listen

Exclusive to Audio! Somewhere amongst the shadowy stacks and the many basements of the British library, something is very much amiss - and we're not talking late returns here. Is it a ghost, or something much worse? PC Peter Grant really isn't looking forward to finding out....

Good but felt short and abrupt

I liked the story and all that happens in it. But when it ended it felt sudden and abrupt. Still, worthy of a listen or more...

A fun short that seemed too short. Hope the author includes more shorts or a full story in the future

A short story about a magical artifact!

The performance was quite okay and as a short story set in a magic infused world, the establishment of the characters involved and the world around them is quite well made! I think this is a nice short read and that too for free!

There's no end

This story actually has no end. It was captivating, I was into the story and all of sudden the book ends.
Plz lemme know if there's in continuation for this.
