I can’t remember anymore if my grandfather’s eyes were blue or green, but I’ll never forget the way they wrinkled at the corners when he laughed at one of his own jokes. Or the way they sparkled with mischief when he told me tales about the magical creatures that dwelled in the forest behind his humble Irish sheep farm. As a child, I believed every fantastical word. But when he warned me about the mute boy who also lurked in those woods, the one the priest had declared to be the spawn of Satan himself, I refused to listen.

Angela and Terry return home after several grueling months of filming the popular television show, Let's Switch Houses!, only to find their residence in ruin. Sure, the décor and framed photographs are the same; the color of the walls hasn't changed; the furniture sits unmoved. But something is off. Their quiet New Jersey home feels tainted. Angela can sense it. Crawling inside her. Infecting her mind. Poisoning her thoughts. Then the nightmares begin. Awful, lucid visions that cause her to question her own reality.

Patrick Lahm is down on his luck. Late for his book signing, out of gas, and stuck in a storm. He hitches a ride to the Kurtain Motel, where he is forced to spend the night. The small motel seems harmless enough at first, but as the night drags on, Patrick and the other guests slowly begin to realize there is a lot more to their temporary lodging than meets the eye. Something evil is at work at the Kurtain Motel; something that creeps into the deepest, darkest corners of your mind and tugs at the chords of sanity until they finally break.

The living dead are more alive than ever! Zombies have become more than an iconic monster for the 21st century: They are now a phenomenon constantly revealing as much about ourselves - and our fascination with death, resurrection, and survival - as our love for the supernatural or post-apocalyptic speculation. Our most imaginative literary minds have been devoured by these incredible creatures and produced exciting, insightful, and unflinching new works of zombie fiction.

He lives in your community, in a nice house with a well-tended garden. He shops in your grocery store, bumping shoulders with you and apologizing with a smile. He drives beside you on the highway, politely waving you into the lane ahead of him. What you don't know is that he has an elaborate cage built into a secret basement under his garage. And the food that he's carefully shopping for is to feed a young woman he's holding there against her will - one in a string of many, unaware of the fate that awaits her.

Worth the time.
I really like short stories, while some in this collection are better than others, that usually holds true for all books of this nature. I'm a diehard horror freak and i loved that a few of these had me saying "that's messed up" if I cringe it's worth reading.

Shocking
Fantastic short stories, amazing characters in a mundane world. I was pleasantly surprised at the performer. Adrean Rivers captures you and the stories don't let you go, before you know it you are late to wherever you are going because you just keep listening.

Short and sweet
Every collection has some good stories and some bad ones. This collection, with its various (really) short stories, is mostly filled with good ones. My personal favorite is the one where a guy is tormented by the early arrival of the Christmas season a few days after Halloween (dude, I feel you). The scariest by far though, has to be the one involving a baby (and I won't go into more detail than that).
If you want something short and effective, you might get something out of this collection. Consider checking it out.

Couldn't get past the terrible narration
They should have invested in a professional narrator. The person that narrates this has an annoying voice, very bad timing, reads as if reading a children's book, and I feel terrible to mention the speech disorder that distracts too much to be able to listen to the story. Going to ask for a return.
