With equal parts suspense, gore, camp, and revenge, the triumvirate of EC’s horror output laid the groundwork for what was to come from many of the genre’s greatest writers and directors. Now, AudioComics (a division of Pocket Universe Productions) presents EC’s The Vault of Horror, its stories adapted and presented in an audiorich fully immersive setting complete with a full cast, scoring, and soundscapes.

Critic reviews
“Jason Blum has done it again with this collection of startlingly imaginative and remarkably potent tales. Anyone who loves a brilliant story—scary or otherwise—should read this book.”—Ryan Murphy, co-creator of American Horror Story
"Like the best horror movies, these stories begin in the real world, then slyly move you to a darker place, a nightmare world just beyond our reality. I enjoyed my visit to The Haunted City--but I am still shivering."--R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street
“I found myself double checking that my door was locked. This anthology is a compelling reminder that it does not take anything but a good story to terrify.”—M. Night Shyamalan, writer and director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable

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.

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.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Ok but nothing super scary
The book as a whole was lacking in a big way nothing that gave me chills or made me afraid to go to sleep as the Blum company states in the opening. A lot of the tales kind of leave you guessing without much to go on. And novel 15 jeez I thought would never end! Just endless ranting about nothing to end up being nothing at all scary. Step it up Blum.....

I enjoyed each of these stories. Only criticism, it threw me off of the story line a few times when there was female narration for a male character. Minor thing really.

Very disappointed in depiction of Roma
I love horror. I love(d?) Blumhouse movies. I was really looking forward to listening to this book. I’ve only made it through the first story, and the derogatory depiction of Roma as vengeful sorcerers who live in squalor, the use throughout of the G-word, and the main character’s open disdain for a Roma man who helps him save his family were just a whole lot of bigotry in one story for me. I’m really surprised this made it into print, and I’m going to return it.

started off OK finished poor
first off I didn't read the reviews because I though blumhouse make pretty decent horror movies maybe it translate to audiobooks. I was so wrong! narration was awful. don't understand why they had male doing female characters and vice versa. I understand if it's just one narrator, but they clearly had both male and females doing the audio book, so it didn't make sense. the story for the most part were bad! first story OK and mah on the 2nd one but it just got worse and worse. I wouldn't was my money on it!

sucks big time

if it were made more understandable and narrators had more emph when they read might b better but to keep real it was boring
Would you ever listen to anything by Jason Blum again?
no

Snore...boring
Some of the stories were so bad that I just couldn’t listen to them.
Not worth the credit.
What a waste.

Bad writing, boring characters, and xenophobia
Tried listening to ~7 or so stories, could not finish any of them.
Story 1: every young-couple-moves-in-to-a-haunted-house story rolled into one, complete with creepy kid, evil creepy foreigners, a spooky doll, etc. Badly written and, bluntly, offensive in its treatment of anyone not white American. Really leans in to the racist "Roma (although that's not the term they use) are creepy magical evil devil worshippers" trope.
Story: entitled rich guy whines a lot and dreams of living in the summer all year long, goes to Chile to hit on women 20 years younger than himself and bad stuff happens. More trope-y "fear of the exotic foreigner" themes.
and so on and so forth. The narration isn't terrible, but it's not not great and definitely not enough to make up for bad writing, bad story design, and trope-laden, outdated, boring concepts.

not scary
Disappointed in content. I expected horror stories.
there was a lot of filthy language, mundane occurrences. I made myself listen to it all hoping to listen to one redeeming story...not one. Good for bedtime snoozer.
