I’d say half these short stories were excellent, spooky, and/or left me wanting more in all the right ways. The other half just left me confused or unsatisfied with how it ended. Some of the endings were so confusing that getting clarification online didn’t help because others were confused too. Still a great listen and the narraters were awesome! Just maybe not THE best Shirley Jackson.
