Terrifying!
These three short stories were terrifying!
In the first story, a man is alone in the woods, working on a derelict house that he plans to flip. Suddenly, he hears the cries of a small, abandoned child.
A nurse who suffers from anxiety from her job is desperate to get home, when she is called upon to attend to a dying patient. He likes her, and tells her, he will give her the gift of immortality.
Two women are on their way home from a plant nursery. When they get to the parking lot, they hear strange sounds. They decide to investigate...
All three stories were great! Five stars💫💫💫💫💫

Entertaining horror listening 🎶🔰
Three will written novellas of horror, haunting, ghouls, ghost 👻, monsters, demons, by three different authors Supernatural Suspense Collection book 5. There are three interesting story lines with well developed characters, lots of action and misdirection leading to three different conclusions. I would highly recommend this novella series to readers looking for a quick read. Enjoy the adventure of reading or listening to nove novellas, novels 👍🔰, and books. 2022 😡😮👒😕

Another "why did I read these at night?" Horror trio from authors at Team Scare Street.
Inescapable horror is even more terrifying when it speaks a different language.
A germaphobic nurse discovers a situation that would terrify the most ardent mycologists.
A routine visit to the Garden Center at the local home-improvement store flips gender expectations upside down and results in breathless terror.

I look forward to the next book in this series. They are original and very good. The storylines are well described with interesting characters. You have the best of scare street authors. Ron Ripley always leaves you on the edge of your seat.
Rowan Rook was new to me and does a great job. I love Sarah Clancy so step in and spend an evening with horror and enjoy these stories. The narration is great and will maintain your interest.

Wow
I picked this book up thinking I would read the first story and put it down, wrong! I had to read the book in one sitting. I have to say I lived each story but the final one really creeped me out because I was sitting in a parking lot while I read it. If you've never read anything by these authors these little gems are a great introduction. Horror that will cause chills down your spine !

An excellent addition to the series of short horror! As good as all that came before. I don't believe they need to be read in order so go for it.

WOW, they just keep getting better and better. I felt as if I was a character in this volume, as there were so many spooky things that felt so real. Keep the short stories coming Scare Street.

Omg
These short stories are awesome, and the last story was so intense that I was skipping words to get to the end.

Great short stories
I can't say enough about these short stories. The stories really get you involved into the darkest places in the mind of the author.

Not bad
The last two stories were really good. The volumes keep getting better. Can't wait to read volume 6. Should be good.

Oh heavens - this one gave me a few good chills! I haven't really ever felt disappointment with any of the stories, and while Ron Ripley will forever be my favorite, the other writers hold their own.
Great stories, good thrills, and perfect for chilly afternoons! You can blame the shivers on the cold!
