Nice little collection!

As a horror fan, I really enjoyed this collection. A lot of the stories are under five minutes, but those are the type of “short stories” I enjoy the most. Definitely recommend!

Fresh new ideas to enjoy with a theme

Most of the stories had an industry tie in that I loved with fresh new ideas in the stories. mostly all theme had a great creepy factor that I really enjoyed.
Ok, so the narrator needs work, I admit it. Not once did the narrator take a way of the freshness of the stories. I think you will really enjoy it. lastly if LTC a medical term strikes your fancy, you will get some of the inside humor.

Terrible narrator

The stories themselves were good. Some could have really hit, but the narrator was just awful. There was no acting out the stories and characters. There were no transitions from story to story. Everything stayed at the same pace and there was no emotion. I feel like I’m being picky, but I’ve listened to a lot of audiobooks, and this one just made the stories mediocre rather than really helping the stories along.

Nice variety of stories!

Really quite a variety of stories, from theme to tone, fantastical to mundane. I liked how there were some shorter ones mixed in that felt like were short enough you could read aloud to others, which is something I'm actually always looking for. My favorite was, "I Think We Have Bedbugs." Narration is delivered relatively flat, but it's fine for reading narration and okay in that regard.

Great story collectio

I liked that the stories were short and left you wondering of the outcome.
I thought the narrator was perfect for this collection.
The characters voices were well done.
Recommend if you like horror and are looking for short listens.

Many really creative stories

There are a lot of different and interesting stories. The author does a good job of variety. Most of the stories are pretty quick which is a nice change of pace.

Your imagination fills in after the scene is set

Horror is not a genre I spend much time with, but I enjoyed the change of pace from stories that take over a dozen hours to reach conclusion. No such long-winded tales here. Each story is just a few minutes long with enough setting and character to get your mind wandering ... and wondering what the outcome might be. Some locales and characters seem to follow a few repeating trends, and nearly all the stories feel written from the same person's vocabulary, despite the narrating character being a child, adult, man, woman, or someone of advanced age. The narration lacks emotion or suspense, and each reading bleeds into the next with no noticeable pause. Will these prevent you from a good night's sleep? No. Will your brain consider alternative endings or continue some stories after hearing them? Yes, if you allow your imagination to run wild.
