Aftertale: Short Stories

A story for tonight, every night. Aftertale is short fiction for adults, performed by a full cast. Each story takes ten to fifteen minutes and comes to a real ending, so you can finish it before you fall asleep, on the way home or in the bath. Every voice is a character Every character has their own voice, and a narrator carries the story between them. The lines are acted: a whisper, a laugh, a pause before someone answers. Follow every word As the cast speaks, each word lights up on the page and in the player's caption. Listen, read along, or both. Read it, hear it, or switch Start on the page, then tap Listen From Here on any paragraph. The cast picks up where your eyes were. Tonight's story, chosen for you It starts with a few questions about your evenings and the stories you like, read aloud by the narrator you pick. Your answers become your story profile, and tonight's story is picked from them. New stories are added regularly. A quiet reminder names tonight's story at the time you set, only on the nights you choose, and the app keeps count of the nights you listen. Seven kinds of story - Romance - Mystery & Thriller - Fantasy & Romantasy - Sci-Fi - Horror - Feel-good & Cozy - Bedtime: calm stories for grown-ups Made for the end of the day - Every story stands alone.
