Haunted House and Ghost Stories Collection

By: Ron Ripley

Narrated by: Thom Bowers

An abandoned house. A forgotten evil. Home sweet home....

Shane Ryan returns to his hometown of Nashua, and the childhood memories that have haunted him throughout his life. Something sinister prowls the shadows of his family home. And a darkness threatens to destroy all he holds dear.

Twenty years ago, the dark force took Shane's family. They vanished within the halls of their shadowy old house. Now, more relatives have gone missing. But a childhood memory stirs in his mind - a long-forgotten encounter with a sinister presence that has always lurked just out of sight.

To confront this malevolent evil, Shane must peel back the secrets of his former home. His investigation will take him on a journey that challenges everything he thought he knew about himself and his past. But can he banish his demons once and for all?

Or will the darkness consume him….

Amazing series for just one credit!!

How could you not spend a credit on over 65hrs of pure chilling terror?? I've listened to each of these and they all got better and better as the series progressed. The stories are chilling and some of the settings make for an atmospheric read. You go from a house, to a lighthouse, to a town (which was extremely spooky!!), to an even creepier hospital and on and on for a total of 9 different settings, each scarier than the last.

Then we have Shane, poor Shane!! He is such an awesome character. I connected to him right from book 1 but he gets battered and bruised, and is missing pieces of himself, yet he still fights, and that's why I love this series so much. He is just so strong and brave and selfless. He seems to be getting emotionally better and stronger and just all round awesomer ;)

I can't recommend this series enough. This series is one of my favourites. The author never fails to grab my attention and give me chills. Each book is better than the previous ones and each leaves me wanting more. I can't wait to see what the author has in store for Shane next!

Thom Bowers really knows how to capture the essence of the story and knows how to bring the scariness and spookiness to life. He has also portrayed Shane perfectly. He brings across Shane's personality really well and always keeps me entertained.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Supernatural bargain!

Wow. This book bundle is one heck of a killer deal. Not only do you get 9 books for a single credit, you get 9 incredibly enjoyable books for a single credit. Ron Ripley has crafted an excellent series of ghost stories, featuring some great characters and fun, intense, creepy stories. Mr. Ripley keeps putting his main character, Shane Ryan, through a series of meat grinders as with each volume he faces new threats he has to deal with and overcome. The first story is an 'intimate' haunted house tale as Shane returns home to the haunted house he grew up and tries to uncover the truth behind his parents long ago disappearance. In the next volume Shane is lured into investigating a bizarre suicide at an isolated lighthouse, then in the next we shift to yet a new local, a ghost town that is truly haunted. Whether it's his own house, a creepy hospital, or even a prison, again and again poor Shane finds himself in a battle with the supernatural. Each of the tales is incredible entertaining and well worth the time. Thom Bowers does an absolutely fantastic job with the narration. His voice and delivery bring these stories to life. I can't recommend this collection enough.

I received a copy of this audio title in exchange for an unbiased review.

Great value for audiobook junkies

If you have to have an audiobook playing in your ear at all times and like horror stories, this would be a good bet for you. I think all the books together runs something like 60 hours. Be forewarned, there is some graphic violence in the books.

I received the audio books in exchange for my review, so I felt compelled to listen to them back to back. I will tell you that it would probably be best to listen to one or two books at a time and then take a break.

The reader has a pleasant voice and I didn’t mind listening to him for all that time. The stores are pretty good although our alcohol soaked hero does seem to run into more than his fair share of ghosts.

For the price of this collection, I don’t think you can go wrong.

love it all nine books very well written and read

I recommend to listen to all of the books to the end this is the type of books that you read over and over

This is the book set that got me into Scare Street

Best Audible credit I ever spent. Anything written by Ron Ripley and read by Thom Bowers is a great time.

get me by the rough time

love the stories it help when I was in the hospital thank for the memories

best credit ever spent

great stories in depth characters 👏 recommended for someone that wants or needs a long collection to listen to while working

Great stories !

Love the stories of Shane Ryan, each book gave me “gasp” moments for sure, and I did not get bored at all, well worth the 1 credit and will be looking for more of these. Thom Bowers reads each character with depth and emotion .. some of them even creepy.

Best spend credit ever!

Berkley Street series, 9 books for one credit. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Not your typical ghost story. I also loved the bonus chapters, giving you the back story at the end of each book and how the dead came to inhabit the haunted setting. You have to admire the drive and perseverance of Shane Ryan. Thom Bowers did a great job with the narration. This is the first time reading Ron Ripley. I plan on reading more. I think the series previous to this one next.

Great story!!!!

This series of books was surprisingly good. All 9 books held my attention for the entire time. Shane Ryan is a great character and his adventures and his ability to interact with the dead make this series good.
