Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking.

"The Samophlange" - A Funny Warcraft Short Story - Chris Herron

TALL TALE TV - Sci-Fi and Fantasy Short Stories

The Samophlange ep.789  The Samophlange was a quest in early World of Warcraft located in Bilgewater Harbor. I took that quest, including all the dialogue, and turned it into an embellished short story. As far as I know the quest no longer exists, so this is my way of keeping it alive! I originally published this years ago, but had to take it down when YouTube changed some guidelines. Those guidelines are now clearer, so I recorded this again and decided to publish it anew.   ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube:  Website:   ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story...

---- About Tall Tale TV ----

Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision.

During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks.

Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.

Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors. Thank you!
