Here’s what Ray Cluley and RJ Bayley had to say about the release of Water For Drowning.

“It’s thanks to This is Horror that I get to indulge in one of my obsessions with this story, and RJ Bayley has done a great job with the narrating. Listen. Can you hear the music playing? The mermaids singing? Come and meet Josh and Genna, but beware of the water …
Speaking of which, just when you thought it was safe, etc, there’s a bonus story—the British Fantasy Award-winning ‘Shark! Shark!’ Hopefully that’ll make you smile, you son-of-a—”—Ray Cluley

“I’ve been a fan of the This Is Horror chapbooks for literally years before I even knew I’d become an audiobook narrator. In fact I gave Water for Drowning a glowing review in Popcorn Horror. So it was a delight to be asked by TiH to narrate these stories I was already a fan of in a genre I love. I don’t think I’ll ever get to do something so special again. I think we’ve created something to be really proud of and that listeners will love.”—RJ Bayley
