Narrator is great.
What I don’t love:
The story uses the same type of sentence structure throughout. Paraphrase: “he did such and such a thing, then he put this here, then it went on top of the other thing, and into the other thing.”
The author gives tedious details, almost as if trying to fill pages. This makes the imagery much less colorful than it could be. The descriptions of the scary bits are BARELY more interesting than the descriptions of the main character walking around his house doing normal things.
The story kind of plods along.
If I were reading this instead of listening to it, it would put me to sleep pretty quickly.
This one’s a little weak for this genre.

Grandpappy is on hospice. Charles is going mad. Vile happenings are abound. You, listener, are not prepared. This is your lesson in depravity. Warning! This is an extreme horror novella. Very few triggers are left unpulled.

Solid. Not the best of PCH3, but solid.

Grotesquely beautiful descriptions. It goes off the rails a bit at the end but the concept is very original. Narrator needs an Oscar! The deadpan delivery really made it work.

EVERY SINGLE STORY IS GOOD

This genre has better options.
Could be more descriptive. It’s tiresome. Too much setup in most of the stories. Not as shocking as the intro over-promises.

Story4 out of 5 stars 511
Raised in a household so filthy it was stomach-spilling, Vera involuntarily evolved into a neat freak. Upon discovering she and her disabled husband, Daniel, are expecting, she needs fast cash. Her obsession with cleanliness sprouts the concept that her skills can be put to use in a unique way. She takes a stab at the booming door-to-door vacuum sales business of 1988. All is going well until she arrives at the steps of a house that will change her forever. The steps of an evil that resurrects the ghastly memories she so desperately tried to wash away.

Triggers - pregnancy loss
Reviewed: 08-06-23
I was fine with it, and even liked it, until there was violence on an unborn — not making it political, I’m pro choice — but it’s just hard to hear that part when you’ve lost a pregnancy. I can handle everything else but that. Talented writer, though. I just have to push that part out of my mind to continue.

Late fees on forgotten bills. A home full of clutter and unfinished projects. Eroding respect with your friends, family, and colleagues. Health worries from doctor's appointments you keep meaning to schedule. Nonstop anxiety as you wait for the other shoe to drop. You deserve better. Order from Chaos will teach you how your brain works and how to stop getting in your own way.

How did this get published with the narrator repeatedly saying the phrase “Ec-Cetera?”
It’s got a “t” in it….

Styvie Savard was a damn good cop - before she made a mistake that cost her everything. Now she lives in her car, works a dead-end job, and scrapes by on the fumes of a dwindling savings account. Life couldn’t get much worse, until it does. One morning on the way to work, Styvie hits a 16-year-old, Dharma, with her car. When the injured girl flees the scene, Styvie finds that she can’t leave well enough alone.

Narrator is weird. Talks too fast, I can’t follow the story. And the story takes forever to unfold. Don’t waste your time.

What do you do with a little kid who...won't brush her teeth...screams in his car seat...pinches the baby...refuses to eat vegetables...runs rampant in the supermarket? Organized according to common challenges and conflicts, this book is an essential emergency first-aid manual of communication strategies, including a chapter that addresses the special needs of children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorders.

Every single example features boys. What gives? I want to know if little girls communicate differently. Maybe they do and the author doesn’t have the experience...
