About the Author:
Thomas E. Fuller was a writer, director, actor, storyteller, raconteur, and wordsmith. He passed away on November 21st, 2002 at the age of 54. Fuller was the author of several science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories, including a Nebula finalist. But he is best known as a dramatist, having more than a dozen stage plays produced and well over a hundred audio dramas. Indeed he was the first writer to be admitted into the Science Fiction Writers of America whose credentials were produced plays rather than published stories.
This fully produced recording first appeared on John David "Hobbes" Hickey's CD release: "Did You Hear That?" Professional storyteller J.D. Hobbes enjoyed Rikki's previous treatments of other pieces of his so much that he asked him to audio produce a selection of his new tales. John David Hickey's fantastic storytelling CD of creepy stories "Did You Hear That?" was released in 2014.
This particular story, "The Hall of Wonders," was retold by JD Hobbes with permission by the Estate of Thomas E. Fuller.
We highly recommend that you listen to the entire album. JD Hobbes' CD "Did you Hear That?" features some of the Bard's the creepiest stories! Get ready to turn out the lights and listen to these tales! Then turn all the lights back on and quiver in your bed, praying that the sun will return!
