Yeah pretty much more of the same

If you've gotten this far, you know exactly what to expect. Not sure if I'm still enjoying them at this point or if it's an ocd need to complete the series.

Dear Ms. Lew,

How in Calista Flockhart’s dirty nether region did you get to vol. 5 before realizing what these books are about? Seriously, you made it all the way through Jizz World before finding that this book wasn’t for you. Was it because of the content or because you found it too hard to masturbate too? That’s it isn’t it.? You read descriptions like, unfortunately, the underpass is haunted by the ghosts of dead porn stars, and stories like, 28 Dicks later, and thought to yourself this book would be great for some alone time. Maybe you could even break out that old bowling pin out of the garage. Well you found out, like the rest of us, that the only thing harder to masturbate to than this book is testicular cancer. So you decided to leave a 1 star review and insult everyone that enjoys these stories rather than return the book and move on with your life. Thanks! You’re doing god’s work, Ms. Lew.

Four and a half out of six ain't bad

First off, the narrators did an amazing job with this entry!
Second, four off the stories in this volume are straight up awesome and really enjoyable.
Third, why did Bevan keep getting a third of all the stories? No matter which way that is looked at, it's a bad idea for one author to be so over-represented in a collaboration.
Fourth, one of the Bevan shorts, Stranger's Thing, was much more enjoyable than most of his catalog of Shingles

one of the best Shingles collections so far

every story has its moments where you both laugh out loud and cringe at the same time. Easily top 2 of the shingle anthologies. The sheer absurdity of the premises makes this book worth a read, id give it more than 5 stars if I could.

so far laugh ot loud to the series

started series and can not wiat for more to come out. stories get me laughing more times but can be serious if they want to be.

lame recycled jokes

I tried Shingles because I love Caverns and Creatures and Drew Hayes has some good books as well. The rest of the authors just keep recycling the same dumb jokes "Republicans are all inbred and think about nothing but sex and drugs lolz." It was kinda funny in the first two books, now it's just pathetic.

I enjoyed this series

Audible, this is ridiculous!!! I just wanted to rate this book and not write a review. Having to write reviews in order to rate has prevented me from rating at all. I just want to give props to enjoyable reads . I will just copy and paste this "review" going forward.

Stifler’s wet dreams

I loved Stifler in the first American Pie, but each successive movie relied less on clever (but bent) humor and more on pervy physical comedy. That’s kind of how this series has gone for me. I get consistently decent novellas from Hartness. Bevans is consistently inconsistent for me, giving me at least one I like and one not so much (The bent Stranger’s Thing was horribly, hilariously wrong in a Two Broke Girls, ruthless zingers kind of way but The Haunting one was just too gross). Gualtierri’s Jizz World asked what if Stifler wished upon a p🙄rnstar and had me grinning even when I wished I could unhear parts. Wetherell is always a fail for me, usually too skeezy or incel-ish (offering here is a long, dull ode to meth). By this book, the crass has worn out its welcome. I think this is my last purchase, even on sale.

Waste of Credits

If someone told me these stories were written by males older than 15, I’d call them a liar! I can’t imagine the contents of this book would be found interesting to actual non-perverted adults.
If only I could be compensated for my time (2 stories was all I could tolerate) wasted listening to the escapades of adolescent, sex obsessed, freaks!
