Always great to read some amazing stories by Marcus Damanda. 'Standard Deviations' is a collection of some of my favorite tales of his, most of them featured in The NoSleep Podcast, and I really enjoyed revisiting them.
Marcus is an author who is able to weave fascinating and despicable characters, as well as original and enthralling stories.
My favorite ones in this anthology were the ones from the Tales of the 1.000 Ghosts, specially 'As Helen Remembered It' and 'The Paris Green Solution'.

I do love a good horror and this was a really great listen. Some of the stories I loved others not so much but that is what I love about a collection. Loved the prison and break in ones especially. Overall I just devoured this listen
The narration as always was brilliant and so well suited the stories.
