A local tale as a new audiobook. “The Cone” by H.G. Wells is a macabre revenge tale set in Basford, Basford Bank, and Etruria, in Stoke-on-Trent. You can also find an annotated version of “The Cone” at the back of my recent book on H.G. Wells in the Potteries.

The new 28-minute audiobook is read for Gates of Imagination, a YouTube channel which also has an excellent set of free readings of R.E. Howard’s Solomon Kane tales.
