Neil Gaiman has reported on his blog that he recorded the intros to Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories for Audible. The good news is not that Gaiman did the intros, although he is a good choice, but that the stories are going to appear as audio.

A few years ago I read some of the stories into tape so I could listen to them in the car. I set them aside so that when I did the listening, they would be fresh, but I don’t know where they are. Now I don’t have to dig through my piles of junk in the cellar to find them.

I have a friend who has an audible account. I have to nag him to download the stories as soon as they appear. I set him up with a version of goldwave and audible that can convert the audible files to mp3.

My favorite Mouser story is Bazaar of the Bizarre. It is one of my all time favorite stories and one that I recorded.
