Ankle Snatcher

Creature Feature Collection

De: Grady Hendrix

Narrado por: Michael Crouch

Obey the rules. It’s the only way to survive the night in a short story about what hides in the dark by the New York Times bestselling author of The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires.

Marcus grew up believing his father killed his mother—then blamed it on the boogeyman under the bed. Always leave the lights on, his father warned, or the boogeyman will get you. Marcus still heeds the superstition, especially when he invites his new girlfriend over. Is Marcus haunted by a creature or has he just inherited his father’s murderous delusions? The night will tell.

Grady Hendrix’s Ankle Snatcher is part of Creature Feature, a collection of devilishly creepy stories that tingle the spine and twist the mind. They can be read or listened to in one petrifying sitting.

Ehhhh…. (head scratch)

Too many unanswered questions and no twist ending — it felt like I waited for something that never came. The narrator was good though… and the description of the “eating” was good. But overall, I was unimpressed

too short

I liked the story overall but the ending felt like it was lacking for me.

Every kid’s nightmare

As an adult I still don’t sleep with my feet hanging over the bed, terrified of what might be lurking under the bed. Grady Hendrix captures that fear perfectly in this story of what hides under our beds in the dark.

Y'all...

I am an old and I still will not sleep with any part of my body hanging off the bed. I just can't do it.

Now I have to worry about standing up without turning the lights on!

This is a very short story about the boogyman and it is so good.

Can't really say more or it will spoil it but I highly recommend this.

Michael Crouch did an excellent job narrating this one.

Great

Wish there was more it was great. The author really understands horror. Love all his books

I mean it's Grady Hendrix.

well done! quick and fun listen!!! would recommend, if you've got a commute or just 45ish minutes on your hands I would recommend it

Don't get off your bed!

This was an amazing story that had me hooked from the first page. The concept of the monster lurking under your bed is such an old one, but this brought it to life in a whole new terrifying way. I would love it if this were a whole series, exploring the different monsters and what the 'rules' are. Definitely makes me not want to get out of bed in the dark!

Good

In this short story, Marcus grew up believing his father killed his mother but there was more to it. He was told by his father to always leave the lights on or the Boogeyman will get him. Marcus followed that until his girlfriend came over. Things turn into a nightmare for Marcus.

I give this book 7 out of 10 Stars or 3 1/2 out of 5 Stars. It was a fun read. I really enjoyed the narration.

Scary AF

I don’t think I’ve ever been this scared of having the lights off at bedtime since I was a child. Yikes! Well done, Grady Hendrix and the voice actor.

Who doesn’t have 45 minutes to spare?

I hope you do, because this is a must listen to short story! The story was creepy and brutal. Grady Hendrix does such a great job of grabbing your attention and giving you the chills while he does.

Definitely listen to this!! The voice actor also does a fantastic job.
