A surprisingly good collection of one novella and nine short stories, right up my street, I've never read this author before but now I'm keen to read more from him. There were a few gripes, I felt the novella was a little too long and maybe would've worked better as a short story. Some little details bothered me and pulled me out of the story, a tale involving old rock and roll photos contained the line "One of Elvis Presley from late in his career, where the gut was coming in but he still had most of his hair" Elvis' appearance near the end of his life is well documented, unhealthy and bloated but definitely with a full head of hair, horribly pedantic know, but a really obvious mistake. On the whole though, a really entertaining anthology 4 stars.

This was a great collection of horror stories! The very first story was my favorite. It had a very twilight zone feel to it. A wonderful mix of horror and sci-fi with some thrilling suspense for a kicker.

The other stories were good as well. Little bites of scary and gory to make make a great collection to listen to!

Over all four stars for me. Great narration. Easy to listen to. Good emotions and flow.

Excellent collection that really showcases the authors talent
My top picks are the chase and dark world both about alternate universes
A close second was talent scout about a heavy metal band and the price of fame
C.j. Grey has a great voice for narrating horror
Definitely gonna check out more by this author highly recommended

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO READ IS ANTHOLOGIES. KILLING TIME DID NOT DISAPOINT. I ENJOYED EACH STORY AND FOUND THEM WELL WRITTEN. THE STORIES WHERE INTERESTING AND CREEPY. IF YOU LOVE ANTHOLOGIES THEN YOU WON’T BE DISSAPOINTED WITH KILLING TIME.
