Jennifer McMahon’s Hannah-Beast is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

Mean girls grow up.

SPOILER ALERT: Anyone with a teenage child knows what the end is going to be. Understandably the mom is so deep into her own pain that she misses out on obvious signals.

The book was well written making recognize the mean girls and how awful middle school can be. The narrator did an excellent job.

Disturbing

This story was very intense and very scary. I was really enjoying it until the ending. I don't like the way it was left. I definitely recommend people be cautious when reading this story and any other in this series. Some can be very triggering if not careful. I do recommend the book still. Even though I wasn't pleased at all with the ending. I repeat though, be mindful of possible triggers.

Dark!

Told in two timelines, in 1982 and 2016 on Halloween night. This is a dark and disturbing "mean girl" trope. Couldn't listen faster than 1.25x speed because the narrator sounds very "robotic" at a faster speed.

say BOOOOO

Hannah-Beast is the sad story of the past coming back for revenge. Amanda and her mean girl friends love to pick on Hannah. I have no idea why, kids are mean. On Halloween night in 1982, it all goes horrible wrong. It's Halloween 2016- Has Amanda out run her past and what happened that night?
This very short story is read by Amy Landon. She does a great job narrating it. Fans of Jennifer's other books will like this one as well. It's only a hour and 23 minutes long but it's such a sad, heart breaking story.

Hannah Beast

This was one of the best of the Dark corners collection. I was not hopeful as all the others have been disappointing, but this was worth the listen. Sad but you know things like this really happen.

It's ok

It was an ok book. It didn't take long to read and was semi enjoyable.

Good short story

This mild horror story is about a girl who tried fitting in a group of three “mean girls” and how they made her life miserable. The story line was very well put together, I would have liked for it to be a little longer and a little more detail on two of the “mean girl” characters. Other than that it was a good read with a little twist at the end!

another spooky gem

I'm really enjoying this collection from Amazon originals. the story telling is high quality and the recordings for Brilliance are great too. i highly recommend this as a good lightly spooky tale for Halloween

Love it

I really did enjoy this book. It had just enough scariness, mystery and intrigue. They kept me wanting more until the end. The story was full and complete even though it was a short story. I enjoyed everything about it.

Typical Horror

2.5 Stars - Traditional story, not bad. Good little psychological horror story about mean girls and the monsters they create
