Probably my favorite scary thing Neil has ever written (which is saying something, given how many scary things Gaiman has written during the span his career). It’s just a brilliant, masterful piece of creepy storytelling. 

This reading of the story is particularly great because of the audience, whose reaction gradually goes from amusement to unease to full on silent fucking dread and discomfort during the course of the story and it is just a glorious thing to witness.

This. For people who wonder how an SCP works, this is something worth listening to. Notice the way the information gets presented, how you discover what the speaker is without it ever being admitted to, how you discover implication upon implication, until the very end.
