A difficult one to rate!
A more accurate rating would be 3.5 stars as the stories themselves were a bit of a mixed bag. They were all different and well written but at the end of each story I found myself thinking, "is that really it then". Perhaps it was just me? I note that many readers scored the book 4 or even 5 stars but I just couldn't fully appreciate/engage with these stories.

Entertaining horror listening 🎵🎶
This kindle e-book novella is from my Kindle Unlimited account book 1 of 6
I enjoy haunting horror ghosts fantasy stories. As with multiple stories books some are better than others but that is normal.
I would recommend this series and author to readers of haunting horror ghosts fantasy stories. 2024

Quick reads
Perfect short, quick horror stories to read when you're not in the mood to commit to a normal length book. The stories are a mixed bag, but none disappoint. Great just before bedtime, when with a novel you might invest a few minutes of reading time but retain nothing. I'll read the whole little series eventually.

Short horror stories with a fun twist
I am a sucker for horror anthologies and the cover intreged me. I thought I gotta give it a try and I wasn't disappointed. The twist of these stories is most of them have the added bonus of reading the story from the other characters perspective. Just when you think you're at the end of the story there is a flip and you get to read it from another side. So not everything is at it originally seems. What a great find. I can hardly wait to read the next volume. Give it a try it's a quick read and you won't be disappointed.

I got the audible version of the book. Although I guess you could call it "entertaining", most of the stories were lame. I wasn't sure whether the stories were supposed to be humorous or frightening in most cases. I usually don't order audible books because, in the past, the readers have not been very good. Unfortunately, this one was no better than the others I have listened to in the past. If you are looking for entertainment this book would be great but if you're looking for a "nightmare", pass on it.

mmmmm
I don’t like being negative on reviews but I do like to be honest.
Some potentially good story ideas here but feel really underwhelmed with this collection. I am by no means an expert but I read a lot of horror and for me the stories were lacking something, they put me in mind of something written by a young high school student and while I enjoyed some of the ideas especially the stories that were followed up from a different characters point of view they were poorly written and not very well developed.

It was eh, not much else, it may well be that anthologies are just not my thing but I found it very middle of the road not and not a pinch of creepiness to it!
I’ll definitely not bother with the next ones, but I can say I’ve read it and I can base my next reads on this experience

Didn’t finish. These stories are way too predictable and cheesy.

Another book of collected tales and I’m here for it! I grew up reading scary stories to tell in the dark and this is the vibe!
