These are three short stories, and I mean short. They spend time to build it up, but the endings each seemed forced, or rushed I guess. I realize with short stories you don't get the time or space to fill out details in depth.
Story one is about a video gamer on a site I think is supposed to be like You-tube (but of course they can't call it that) and a stalker of hers kills himself and she has to deal with the consequences.
The second centers around a priest who is visited by a strange antique trailer bus and learns to regret the choice to help the two he find inside it.
The Third is about a slightly older woman talking to a cop about steeling small but valuable antique things and turns it into a story of her dead husband.
I can't say much else without giving away surprises.

I wanted to read a spooky novella for October and what was better than a 33 page book of 3 short stories? I'll be honest, the only story that I liked was the first one, but the second and third stories fell kind of flat to me. The first one literally had me on the edge of my seat and waiting to see what would happen next. I seriously recommend that short story, but the other 2 had me waiting for the 'exciting' parts to happen, but they never did. I'm excited to read more spooky short stories though!

This audiobook was a great little time filler as I had just over an hour of driving to get back to base and didn't want to start a long novel just before a long weekend off. Three excellent short stories that are well written and nicely narrated. They kind of remind me of my childhood/early teens 40+ years ago when I'd have a torch under the bedcovers reading each edition of the Pan Book of Horror Stories and similar anthologies while I was supposed to be sleeping.
Looking forward to more of these books from Scare Street.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I’ve been reading Advanced Reader’s Copies for the past year or so, but this was my first digital copy. It was very seamless to transfer to my Kindle. Of these three short stories, I really only enjoyed the first one, Let’s Play. I personally watch a lot of influencers play video games online because I lack the money and skill to play it myself. It did get progressively scarier, but it was difficult to understand what exactly was happening. I really enjoyed the integration of technology and horror. It helped show how the modern world can still be frightening despite advanced electronics. I didn’t care for the other two stories and I definitely wasn’t frightened. Thanks for this spooky opportunity!

Nice collection of horror shorts
Some of the stories in the collection were more of the mental horror variety than truly horrifically scary, but I believe the mix was a great fit and would definitely recommend the collection.
