somthing for everyone

this has a lot of hit and misses for me but I would say the misses are maybe 3 or 4 total
otherwise all of them are bone chilling and I couldnt recommend it more for seekers of thrills and horror

Harder to get through than I anticipated

The stories were very good, but I've been spoiled by the continuity of novels. I occasionally missed the transitions between stories while listening as I was cleaning up at work at the end of the day.

A mix of stories

I liked most of the stories. The story about the mine was creepy and sad.

Mature Mind Horror

Perfect amount of chapters (not short), New Series for me! I'm hard to please! 😀

Great Collection!

Every anthology is a hit or miss and this one is no exception. I happen to enjoy a large majority of the stories many of which include tales of cosmic horror ala HP Lovecraft. All are well written stories and thankfully the gross out tales are missing.

Chapter 9

Super creepy a little too real! I work in the field that is described in the story and EVERY detail was completely accurate!
CREEEPY CHILLY BRAINF*#^ story!

Read chapter 9 first!

The Final Story is Worth Getting This Book

Overall the stories were meh. There weren't as many stories as you'd think because half of them spanned 2 chapters. The last 2 chapters [final story] were the best and stayed with me. The strength of that story alone is why I would recommend this book.

Fun, dark, and atmospheric!

Definitely worth a listen! Solid writing on all these short stories. Vivid characters, mesmerizing storylines, gorgeous prose--each immersive, gripping story is a pleasure to read. Ellen Datlow is a fantastic editor and did a wonderful job bringing these stories together in this can't-be-missed, 5-star collection. Highly, highly recommend!

Well worth it.

Some of the stories are a slow burn, but worth every minute. The narration is top notch.

not horror but good stories

maybe I'm just jaded but none were scary, and all but 2 held my attention and I thought they were good. A couple I wish had been longer or made into a full novel.

overall worth the credit for the stories but not if you want actual horror
