Short Horror Stories Volume 1
Scares that will stay with you... until daylight comes to save you!
For ages 18 and Over.
A doorbell that won't stop ringing at 3 a.m. - who could it be?

These three terrifying tales by Richard Van Gramberg will leave a lasting impression on you, well after the last page.
They are fast-paced, mysterious, and end with creepy revelations that will make you think, long and hard, the next time your doorbell rings at an odd hour, or whether it's a good idea to enter into those eerie woods, and... is it safe to make a wish in your own home.

The cover is fantastic. What a great motif! The stories were rather short and didn't fulfill my expectations. The opening story was "When the Doorbell Rings". A young man is molested by two kids, then something else is outside. "The Mural in the Woods" started fine but over the pages the author got lost among the trees. "Tooth Scary" reminded me on Tooth Fairy and didn't convince me either. The artwork is great. If you judge a book by its cover this is it! Thumb up. Otherwise nothing special.

Not Really Impressed!
As a meticulous, horror connoisseur l am very particular about the status of the horror stories that I read. My satisfaction must be at least a 7/10 and higher.
Disappointed. Very disappointed. The highest level l would give these stories are five points, and under. Definitely, no more.
So on a scale of 1-5, that would mean 2.5 points, or 2.5 stars, and l leave it at that.

Incredibly short but not particularly well-written. I would assume it’s written for a younger audience but some of the themes seem rather more adult so maybe not. The book seems further padded by the fact that every paragraph has a line break after it, rather than where you would expect a line break to be. Everything here is predictable and childish. Avoid.

Short Horror Stories
The first story is hard to grasp, the second has an ending that is a non sequitur, but the third, the author hits his stride with a story that has a logical twist ending and leaves you thinking.
The author can only get better with time.

Very short collection of short stories. Honestly not bad except for the fact that each story ends abruptly, leaving it feeling rushed and unfinished.
That said, I might read the next volume (or 8). The stories are interesting enough and the time investment is low.

Obsessed
These are the types of stories that I've been looking for all month. At one point, I even regretted starting them at night. Love it! If a story can make me paranoid about being home alone, it's worth it.
