“Did You Hear That?” now on Bandcamp!

v1_CD Front CoverIn 2014, I released my collection of creepy stories called “Did You Hear That?”. Previously, CDBaby carried the CD, but when they made structural changes to that site, my album got dropped. Meh.

So instead, I have placed a digital copy of the CD on Bandcamp where you can purchase the individual tracks ($2) or the whole CD for $10.

This holiday season, give the gift of story to your friends and family with the COVID-friendly, freshly sanitized for your protection, digital copy of the CD!

Reviews are coming in!

I’ve got about a dozen of the Did You Hear That? CDs in circulation with reviewers and the reviews are starting to come in! I’ll keep updating this post as they arrive, but so far, it’s been positive!

  • October15th: Geeky Godmother — “It’s a splendid collection for this time of year. Storyteller Hickey does a fine job of reviving a very old tradition.“
  • October 19th: Storyteller.net— “Many of the tracks contain music and sound effects, creating a feel of old-time radio shows. There’s even a bit of Canadian-influenced history here, too. Fans of creepy storytelling will be satisfied with their purchase of these stories.”
  • October 29th: Lithium Magazine — “This is the perfect time to explore a collection of scary stories, where tales are not just creepy but are rich with culture and history both local and abroad. [Hickey] does fine work in bringing these tales to life. He’s provided a fantastic outlet of reviving the scary story tradition of Halloween, something that would add great life (or death) to your upcoming party.”
