by Mike Bennett

From award-winning author, Mike Bennett, comes Hall of Mirrors: Tales of Horror and the Grotesque. Here you will find stories of Hell and damnation, ghosts, madness, murder, vampires, bizarre hair restoration disasters, and ... pigeons, among other things.
Hall of Mirrors is a collection of modern gothic tales with a nail of dark humour hammered through its heart; horrible, grotesque and hilarious. So roll up, ladies and gentlemen, and enter the Hall of Mirrors - if you dare.

"A modern master of horror, dark comedy, and creepy psychological thrillers. I won't compare him to anyone else because quite frankly, in my humble opinion, he's head and shoulders above them all."
Daniel Shaurette. Out of the Coffin Podcast.

Stories that make your skin crawl that are horrid little nuggets of horror and suspense ! Every one is just as good as the other with mikes audio narration, you just can't go wrong!

I’ve really enjoyed all of Mike Bennett’s writing. This book series in particular is still a go to for me, especially in audiobook form. Funny, interlaced with uncomfortable topics, and relatable characters. 🖤

[Amy · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is not that scary so far, just kind of gross stuff. He writes well, and describes things well. I enjoy more supernatural plots.

[Paula TwoBears · Rating 5 out of 5]

In my opinion this belongs up there with the greatest short story collections in the world especially for humor and horror. If you’d like any of Stephen kings collections such as “night watch,“ then you will consume this series with greed and gratefulness.

I’m not sure, but this also might be available for free on Podcasts. This is a generous author.

There were a few genuinely interesting stories, such as the first one, but the others relied more upon scares and grossness to be of any value. Beware of copious amounts of harsh language. Actually just skip altogether.

Mike is an absolutely fantastic author and story teller. I have all his work in podcast form and truthfully can't pick a favourite. His work is very addictive and the way he brings the charactors to life is nothing short of amazing.

A wonderfully grisly romp through the darker side of human existence. Mike Bennett's talent for writing is equalled by his performance in reading these tales.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flew through these 3 short stories from Mike Bennett. Hair and Skin I loved when originally podcast - the voices came across in the writing but that might just be my memory of Mike's narration!

[Lynnaurya · Rating 4 out of 5]

One or two of the tales made me laugh. Most of the others were well written. Mike Bennett's definatly got the voice to do horror audio.

[Latasha · Rating 1 out of 5]

mike is a great storyteller. but the problem I had with these short stories were the characters. I know they weren't suppose to be likable but wow! they were really awful.
