The Hall of Mirrors short stories do not disappoint, either. Each one is fantastic and I can't wait for each release. Mike is a genius with his craft and is one of my favorite authors (spoken or written). It was One Among the Sleepless that really got me interested in exploring podcasted stories.

The truly sad thing is that I'm not sure I want to. . . . Can't wait to find out if I also belong to the OATS. Maybe I am the one and just don't know it yet.

I've read Mikes novel "One among the sleepless", and can also highly recommend it - I'm defiantly going to be following Mr. Bennett's career, and ravenously consume the literary crumbs he drops on his way.

Shades of Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside. I downloaded Salvation on a whim and was hooked. I immediately downloaded all of Mike's works and started listening to them at work tonight, I got through Trolls, Poacher's Cottage, The Haslet Technique, The Grave and I am in Pt 4 of Hair and skin. I Love This Podcast. Great writing, FANTASTIC presentation, and the production quality of professional Audiobooks. I hope Mike continues to produce stories, I am a fan for life. I cannot recommend these stories any higher. Fantastic!!!! Shades of Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside. I downloaded Salvation on a whim and was hooked.

HOM was great. The stories were great and your witty banter is every bit as entertaining. You're really a great entertainer. Can't wait for what's to come.

I greatly appreciate your feedback and support, and hope to have a new podiobook (novel) on-line before the end of 2008...

"One among the sleepless" got me hooked on podiobooks, and although I've enjoyed many others none have fascinated or entertained me as thoroughly as Mike's work does. "Hall of Mirrors" is an excellent dessert to follow-up with after you've finished the main course of his first book. Mike, if you're reading, your fans are out here, we love your work, and want more!

Period. (Except maybe for one among the sleepless ;) ). Spine-chilling, macabre, and downright deliciously gruesome sometimes, you won't be able to stop listening to Hall of Mirrors. Mike Bennett is a creative genius. And he opens and closes each story with a nocturne from Chopin? Awesome. Can't wait for the next volume. Best podcast on Podiobooks. Period.

Greatly appreciated. The stories in this collection are very well written, and given an outstanding performance. This is actually the first Podcast I've listened to, and I hope it doesn't set the bar too high for my expectations! When I get my own Podcast actually started up, I'll definitely be putting in a promo for this, and One Among the Sleepless, probably, but I haven't listened to that one yet.

I especially loved your little intricate, but significant details re: daily English life. I suffered a bit of nostalgia (originating from an English colony myself).
