Choose the length of your story, one, three or five minutes, and the dispenser will select a story for you from classic and new writers. Genres range from suspense, crime, science fiction, to romance, humour, fiction and children’s stories – ready for you to read on the go.

Our buttons have been replaced with touch-free sensors and, as always, our stories are printed on eco-friendly paper which is FSC certified and BPA free.
