13 Nightmares

By: Dennis McDonald

Narrated by: Michael Rubino

Thirteen tales of original terror penned in the dead of the night with only the glow of a computer for light. The collection of short stories runs the gamut of horror. Within its bloody minutes you will find a slasher clown, a blood red church, a little girl locked in a closet, a haunted sex doll, etc. 13 Nightmares is a fine collection of terror for the short story lover, but be warned. Some of these stores are not for the faint of heart. Do you dare enter a world where the supernatural, the macabre, and the horrific collide?

Not the best I've heard

These short stories were average at best. Didn't find them particulary scary nor gripping. With most of the stories the outcome was fairly obvious from the beginning, this is really off putting. In addition the narrator was poor in my opinion.He just didn't fit with the stories.

What did you like best about 13 Nightmares? What did you like least?

I like the originality of the stories they were interesting, but not scary. Also some of the endings were predictable.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I can't recall names, but I will say that the stories got better as they went along.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I don't think he was good for the horror genre, he didn't let you know the story was finished. Not many changes in the voice, or if he changed his voice to show a new character talking, he sometimes wouldn't revert back to the voice when that character was talking, like in that cockroach story.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Only if there was a MST3K Version

Any additional comments?

I give the author a lot of credit, writing short stories with different twist is not incredibly easy.

Great job!

This book was really scary but I still could not stop listening! Narrator did a great job playing each short story and character! Overall great book and listen!

great

Very good stories. Really creepy at times. Other times the stories were very suspenseful..Looking forward to hearing more.

Rollercoaster ride!!!!

Would you listen to 13 Nightmares again? Why?

Absolutely would read this again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of 13 Nightmares?

Mr Beasley killing Sarah's horrible abusive aunt I almost cheered LOL

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Narrator read the stories with real interest and brought life to each character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Pulse pounding original horror.

Any additional comments?

The stories come to life one by one.

Couldn't stop listening...

I thought this book was thrilling, suspenseful, vivid and it reminded me of the Twilight Zone. The voice of the voice actor really brought the stories to life. I would definitely want to get an audiobook again from this author.

well worth the money

very nice collection of short stories that you'll eagerly devour on your way to flying through all of them.

Not a bad way to waste a credit

I like most who buys books on here to read/listen the reviews help me to decide whether or not to buy. IMHO this is a fairly good book. The stories are short and are fairly well fabricated. If you like Twilight Zone/Tales from The Dark Side style stories this is a good one to check out.

Cruelty is not Horror

Just a quick fuck you, DM. Jack the Knife simply left me cold and angry. Some cruelty, especially to women, is better left unwritten. - mp

8 of the 13 were great.

Mr Beasley, Auntie Marge,
Krissy, Private Tessman,
Catfish Joe just a few of the colorful characters in this book.
