A Walk in the Dark by Arthur C. Clarke - Audiobook Science Fiction/Horror short story 

For everyone who likes this story, can I recommend Jack London’s to build a fire. It’s not science fiction though jack London is considered one of the first science fiction authors

What a marvelous little ghost story! Arthur C. Clarke is one of my favorite authors, for good reason.

Great read! Please continue doing reads of classic sci-fi stories. You have a lot of talent!

Thank you for your reading. I have just finished listening to Superiority. You have a great reading voice. l look forward to hearing even more stories from you.

Lions tigers and bears oh my. Where ever people go, there are monsters. It's just they be us. Who knows what crazy human might be lurking in the dark.

Well told story.

Great story well done.

Fantastic story! Fantastic reading! I hope you read more stories. One of my favorites is the Thing From The Barrens. It’s in public domain 😊

Well ... wow!! That is some excellent writing along with excellent narration. Thanks!!

Chills

Great story. Thank your sharing

I love this little story, read it at school (probably when I should have been doing something else) and several times since. A nice delivery thank you.

I think this is my third or fourth time listening to this story love it you’re narration is great.

Great job. Please do more Clarke!

Amazing 🖤

That was fantastic. 1st class reading. Subbed

Very well read

Omg. Listening to your amazing narration of this story gave me a feeling you had experienced a similar walk in the dark; experiencing similar emotional and physical distress. A+

Very well done, I even imagined that I was listening to a young Arthur C. Clark.

Wonderfully chilling!

Like everyone else here all I can say is, well done! You have a talent for this. I think you could build quite a channel reading science fiction.

Thanks for sharing.

Superb reading.

Interesting story. My only disagreement with the story would be to replace the references to "universe" with "galaxy" or "galactic quadrant". Anyway, a good story to visualize the distinction between the micro and macro scales of distance, and of time. SPOILER: Basically, consider if you yourself had to go for a walk, out in the wilderness, on an isolated planet, where you had walked before with complete daylight, but this time in total darkness, and your survival was at stake. James Procella has given us an excellent reading. Many thanks.

Fantastic, thank you

great narration 👍👍👍👍 your voice is perfect for this genre.

AWESOME MATE.!!! Thank you for doing this.! Stay safe out there & best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏 ♥

Omg that was fucking Terrifying!!! I love you chefs kiss tytyty

Very good performance . Very enjoyable.

Nice read .. thank you !

The opening scene of the story contains a ritual invocation of the "fickle godess." Does anyone understand what I mean?

Great voice thanku sir

good story and narration. rather like the film pitch black

Thought this was Terence Stamp narrating this at first.

Excellent story until the weak ending.

Nice story. But no creature could survive and thrive on a chance availability of one odd human who would come to their planet after millions of years. So it must have had other means of living. In which case it would look at human as a mere curiosity. In fact when humans evolved that is what happened. Other innocent creatures already pre-existing didn’t have knowledge of his predatory skills and so were exterminated.

The changes in performances of the girls and I are commanded to be revealed in seismographic details.

"...excellent narration"...this should be the standard...!

Imagine a "fickle goddess" and she will haunt you until you go mad, or get lost in the darkness... lol. Don't toss your torch into the dark to make a noise. (It's like clapping your hands to wake a kami.) And never dare her with the thought, "nothing worse could happen." Or it will...

I love this story, but I have to say: the distance bothers me. 4 miles!? Really not far at all.

Yow!

Thank you for the upload 😊

Lovely 😍👍 What mic you used?

I legit thought it was Terrence Stamp reading

This sounds like the great Timothy Dalton.

I will know current events by the end.

1 of the creepiest novels out of so few ?...

Wrong title for this classic story ... it has been badly re-written as well ...

I say…yes😢 kiss me!

Fix it immediately. The hair is what I mean.

What's with the long music??? Don't bother with this

I had a few drinks at a friend's house one Saturday night and sensibly decided to walk the 3 miles home rather than drive (I was young and fit and poor so a taxi wasn't considered). I knew there was a church midway home with a dark graveyard behind an iron fence with an open gateway, iron gates hanging askew and after drinking - alone on the journey, I knew this would set the hairs raising on the back of my neck. I asked him if I text him to say I was nearing this dark gateway leading to the graveyard, would he text me a reassuring message? He readily agreed so I set off, slightly erratically, on the walk home. As I neared the church and graveyard I text him to say I was approaching the scary point and was pleased to hear my mobile receive a text from him just as I was passing the gate, every hair standing up on my neck and arms. His text? Oh, it was 'What's that big black thing looming up behind you?' Thanks, Chris!!! This was me aged about 25 walking home to Broseley in Shropshire from Madeley in Shropshire in about 1998. I admit I swore at the time...😅
