From Stories: All-New Tales (edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio) here is an “audio cinema adaptation” (a reading with sound effects) – produced by Jonathan Mitchell for WNYC’s Studio 360. I was looking throughthe Amazon.com reviews of the paperbook. This Xmasy Science Fiction story got top marks from all the reviewers!

Heavens to Betsy, I think I actually have this waiting to be heard. I thought it was just another Studio 360 Science & Creativity (or whatever it is called) report. Thanks for the heads up!
