Intriguing Short Story

I loved the short story, it kept me engaged until the end. You will keep guessing on what comes next! The narrator did a great job as well! Definitely worth the listen!

Superb narration

This was a really fun listen...especially around the Halloween season. The MC was perfectly unlikeable and the narration was excellent. Definitely give this a listen!

Poor Choices can lead to horrific events

Tyler Jones has once again created a great short tale that will stick with the reader for a long time. This will grab you from the first page and never let go. The main character is a fairly unlikable female Pediatrician that I wanted to shake for her poor choices! But, those choices are what drives this book to its terrifying conclusion.

If you enjoy a well-written, complex tale of the horrors that lurk in our world, this book is perfect. The narrator did an excellent job and added a lot to my enjoyment of this on

Chilling tale

Selecting Jennifer Pickens as the narrator was a brilliant choice. The performance was perfect for this supernatural tale. Intense. dark and terrifying.

Brilliant Short Story

My introduction to Tyler Jones came when I had the opportunity to read Heavy Oceans last year. I devoured that book, and immediately set out to find Tyler’s other works. I became an instant fan.

Today I listened to Tyler’s new short story Stridor, which I’ve learned he has entered into the Short Smack!

Tyler has a gift for writing short stories that are satisfying, compelling, and sometimes heartbreakingly gut-wrenching. If you haven’t read his short story collection - Burn the Plans - you should check that out as well. Some absolute bangers in that collection! But that’s not why we’re here. Back to Stridor!

This is a short story, so if I say too much it will give things away. Let’s just say I was not at all prepared for where this story went, and I mean that in the absolute best way. My jaw literally dropped a few times - especially in the last chapter of the book. At one point I audibly gasped. 😱

Man! This little book was so damn good! Do not hesitate to put this one on your short list for the short smack. Read it NOW so you can vote it in! This book absolutely deserves to be there!
