[Steven De Clerck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thoroughly enjoyed these horror-like adventures around the Halloween period.

These short stories were published before to read, but this Audio Adventure had great voice-acting and a sense of mystery, suspense and horror.

"Publisher's summary

Read on if you dare! This unique in-world collection hallows the spooky tales and ghost stories that would have kept young Luke and Leia up at night. Created by George Mann and Grant Griffin—the same team behind the stunning Star Wars: Myths & Fables—these six [sic] frightful fables have been carefully woven from the expansive fabric that is the Star Wars galaxy (including the thrilling landscape from Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and Disney World), and beautifully painted in a lush illustrative style that feels intergalactic yet innately archetypal and timeless."

The stories in this audiobook were originally published a while ago. It is great to finally see an audiobook version, though it is not from Random House Audio, which does such a wonderful job with the adult Star Wars novels. This is an attempt to have a Halloween style set of Star Wars tales as fables. It is canon, so there are tie ins to some of the other canon books. Canon tends to downgrade certain beings and the changes are sad for those of us who know legends. The Nightsisters would not cower from a Sith, just as Jedi were far more powerful. Narration was perfect for this title.

DNF. Didn’t like the first 3 stories, so I quit.
