Excellent stories !

I was so surprised by how really good all the stories were ! it's now one of my favorites.
Even the virtual voice was good ! Could hardly tell it was virtual.
If you like a variety of scary / spooky stories I highly recommend this !

Weird

Definitely not just read by AI also written by AI very strange stories that do not flow well…

Wow

I am continually amazed by the Virtual Voice. After a minute or two I stop noticing the voice and only hear the story. And these were good, I recommend them.

And I personally get LOLs when the V-V mispronounces a word, it isn't so often it pulls me out of the story. I also appreciate it because if I notice it, that shows me I'm listening and that my attention hasn't wandered.

Some surprising twists

The stories are horrific and intriguing, as I had hoped. However, the “virtual” narration is noticeable. I much prefer actors, but this work has not yet earned enough respect. It has tremendous potential for eventually being properly performed.
I will listen again.

Interesting stories

I thought the stories were good overall.
The automated narration was very monotone and bland with various mispronunciations.

Worth a listen

Nothing really stood out to me. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. The narration was decent though.

Good Stories. The virtual narration takes getting used to though.

The virtual narration is very bland and dry. It takes some getting used to for a sure. Otherwise I liked the stories and the characters.

Use real people

overall it was a damn good listen. However, Virtual Voice being unable to pronounce certain words properly, throws off the listening enjoyment.

Such a good collection of stories!!! Def recommend. Narration waa also very good too!

Monotone virtual voice narration ruined some good stories

Stories were well written.... But that monotone AI narration did not pair well. Barely made it to the end.
