Something for everyone

I enjoyed this collection of stories. There is a wide variety of monsters or creepy situations in this book. This also had the perfect narrator. A great read.

Absolutely Fantastic (and I'm a snob)

This is pretty much the very best horror anthology I have listened to on Audible, and trust me, "horror anthology" is my main search phrase.
These stories are intelligent, creative, and engaging... they typically don't answer all of your questions (and I *love*that!!!), they don't spell things out for you, and they have just a touch of the surreal. There's natural... then supernatural... then beyond that you get into the surreal/unreal, and this has just the right amount of that last element.
Honestly, I've probably listened to *hundreds* of horror collections here, and this one checked all my boxes. Many times I listen and think I should do a review (whether positive or negative) - this collection *compelled* me to do a review.
Big thanks to all who were involved. The narrator made me a bit uncomfortable right from the first story, where he breathily sang for the sake of the story... as the stories wound along, I found that slight uncomfortability only added to the experience.
So very happy with this purchase. If you like your horror edgy, not always with the "good side" winning, and leaving you with lingering questions to ponder, this is probably very much for you.

Great book of short stories!

This book really surprised me with the quality of its short stories! The stories were visceral and savage. I believe out of about 20 stories there were only 2 or 3 that were weak. Trust me buy this book you won't regret it!

Great horror anthology

I rarely find a horror anthology that is well written, narrated well, and has stories that are unique and actually creepy. This one is all of those. All of the stories were fully developed and a few actually made want to look over my shoulder when I was listening outdoors at night. As an ardent fan of horror, that doesn’t happen often. Highly recommend.

Really a solid book.

thank God the chapters are labeled with the story title.
narrator was awesome
content not cliche or predictable

Great Creativity

The stories were creative and well written. The narration was perfect. I even got creeper out when listening before bed. I'm going to get volume 2!
