I'm pretty sure I've read most of these stories before, but this was my first time listening to them.At first the serial killer story sounded familiar, the. when Retribution played, I knew I had read that one a year or so ago..It left that great of an impression on me. Then the haunted house story was fun again. But I can clearly see why Tunnels was the headliner. I'm not big on ghosts, but that one sure is a ghost story well done

What a fun little read! My wife recommended this audiobook to me after she gave it a listen and I can say I was not disappointed. The stories transported me back to a genre of media that I have long since forgotten due to the overuse of effects in modern cinema. Diving back into horror was fun with this collection and left me wondering "Where is my mommy? Are you my mommy?"
My wife stated I had to start with scratches given I woke up that morning with some mysterious scratches on my right arm (likely from our cat). Talk about coincidental. These stories were well written although I will say my favorite was Tunnels. This actually inspired us to look for some locations like this so we can partake in their adventures in the near future.
Very well done and I highly recommend it!

I decided to listen to the audiobook rather than read. That sometimes fits what I want at a particular time, and at this time, I wanted intriguing horror stories expertly delivered. I wasn't disappointed with the narration, but the stories were far from scary, and I found that almost all of them were totally forgettable. I am not wholly clear about what is it, but there is a kind of horror story that just does nothing for me, and yet others rave about that kind. Maybe you will be better suited to it. The stories are short so nothing is lost by giving them some time.

Short but terrifying, these stories definitely paint a vivid picture of the macabre. I especially enjoyed Tunnels, and the twist at the end. Fantastic creepy narration made the piece all the more chilling.

Got some time to kill? I basically listened to this in the space of a couple of hours this morning. It may be short, but the stories are fun, creepy and bizarre enough to whet your appetite. This is the second anthology I've read by this author (Embrace the Darkness), and I think I preferred this one, although both were great. In this sextet, I'm not sure whether the trick-or-treaters or the ghost hunters was my favourite, but all six were highly entertaining.
The narrator, too, was bang on, adding a lot of character to the, eh, characters. I'll have to check out the PJ's full length stuff to see if the author can match this over the course of a few hundred pages.
