Horror in the Pines: Unexplainable True Stories

by Autumn Barnes, Tom Lyons

Another collection of allegedly true scary stories. Two of them were almost the same thing.

[Dave]

I got this audiobook before I concluded Tom Lyons lies about his stories being true. I've read plenty of books with reports of cryptid or other Fortean events and this one reads like a collection of polished fiction short-stories way more than anything true. Also, I did not like the narration at all.

Oh my god I don’t know if I should laugh, roll my eyes or throw my kindle across the room because what the fuck was this?

I’ve read a ton of paranormal / ghost / unexplained phenomena books and in every book there’s stories that I believe and stories that I don’t believe, but every one sounds at least a bit plausible.

This one though?

Absolutely not.

Each story is more ridiculous and outlandish and dumb than the one before it and I could maybe excuse that if the stories were at least entertaining, but no, you don’t even get that in here.

The only unexplainable thing about this book is HOW it has such a high rating for being such a steaming pile of garbage.

[James Crawford]

The book has stories which cover a wide range of interpretations. One of them is a case of possession. Others involve a satanic ritual, information given by a dream, a possible Bigfoot and a weird one I have never heard, a cryptid with the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit.

There's also a kidnapping which includes a witch and torture, one involving a woman who is petty much way around the bend, one which involves an psychopath and one which involves the Nevada Triangle and missing planes.

It's a wide variety of weird things, all of which are interesting.

Thoroughly Creepy

This is probably one of Tom Lyons best works to date. Not sure if Tom's writing is getting better or he's simply found a talented collaborator in Autumn Barnes. Either way, this book will intrigue and entertain you. It's an easy read and can probably be devoured in an hour. Bravo, Tom and Autumn!

Spine tingling terror

Don’t read this unless you’re in a room with all the lights on and someone is nearby; these are some of the most terrifying stories that I’ve read. Normally, books about hauntings and unexplainable events don’t bother me. But knowing these are true stories really makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up! Happy reading!

[Ursula Johnson]

This is another fantastic start to a frightening new series. A different version of woods horror, this focusing on other frightening phenomenon found in the woods besides cryptids like Bigfoot and Dogman. Very terrifying. The woods hide many secrets. I can't wait for more haunting stories.

[Diana]

Every story was "creepy"

Tom knows how to help people weave their strange stories into a good book. I really wished that I hadn't read this book just as I getting ready for bed as now I will have trouble falling asleep tonight! 😕😕

[Carolyn Strength]

I enjoy reading short stories from time to time.

Every now and then I search for short stories instead of diving into a long novel. I'm happy to have another author of such a book and look forward to reading more. thank you Autumn and Tom.

[Bxrlvr]

A good read, mostly with just the basic details. I enjoyed reading all of the chapters.

A good read, mostly with just the basic details. I enjoyed reading all of the chapters including a couple of stories about places I'm familiar with.

[Stacey Dickerson]

Better written than some of his other books. I like that the books are short because I need a breather in between. If you take the time to read these books, then you most likely have an inkling or slight belief “things” exist in the woods.

[Alisha Jimenez]

I was looking for something short and fun to read in between larger books and this hit the spot just right!

The full book features short stories told from the perspectives of individuals involved in strange spooky happenings. It varies from possession to paranormal and everything in between for each story.

Left me wanting more at the end of every single one and I can’t wait to read the rest!

[Tom Menner]

Fun read of (supposedly true) horror stories

Quick read (maybe too short!) of people’s strange, unexplained and frightening experiences in woods, supposedly true. Might make you think twice about camping.

[Iris Mentus]

Tense reading!

The last story truly is the grand finale of yet another scary Tom Lyon’s “Horror in The Pines” ….. this collection will definitely blow your mind! Especially the last one. Just a total mind F*CK.

[James Vatell]

A unnerving book that will get your heart racing. Certainly not a book that puts you to sleep.

[Paul Freebairn]

Spooky

Okay. What is more scary in the forest? Bigfoot or a deranged clown. Very weird and very scary. I think I don't like the forest any more.

[Thalia Diaz]

Creepy!

Fast read that actually scared me a little, especially when reading late at night! Absolutely recommend this to anyone that enjoys suspense!

[Betty Welch]

Great scary short stories

Good short stories. Great detail and very believable. Although I'm not sure about the clown story but who knows for sure.

[Siân]

Another great true story accounts. Really enjoy these collections

[P Fille]

Easy read

I enjoy the different short stories of unique things going bump in the woods.

Check out this author, it will be worth it.

[James Cozort]

Good stories

This is a collection of short eerie tales. The stories are well told and interesting. I would recommend this book

[Nancy Erie]

Very scary

Have never heard anything like these stories. Not your usual ' I saw bigfoot' story. Some of them are really creepy. I really liked this book.

Review

It was just okay. The last story was the best. I do believe in the unknown, but for some reason, this book didn't affect me the way other stories I've heard did.

[~Cyanide Latte~]

Well, this was definitely something. I'm not sure what, though.

[Hailey]

Always enjoy this series

These books are my favorite, even when I wake up abruptly in the middle of the night, I immediately grab my phone and start reading. I highly recommend

[Patricia Gilson]

scary stories

Pretty strange and scary occurrences documented-a good read. The stories are short and pretty chilling-better read during the day time.

[Joan Smith]

Mind blown

This collection of supernatural and haunting stories blew my mind, especially the last one. I recommend this as a quick read and palate cleanser

[Joan Smith]

These stories are really creepy, especially the last one. I enjoyed all 9 reports. It's a quick read between larger books

[Luis A Quijano]

Interesting

This book has some interesting stories. If they are true we live in a world with a lot of mysteries.

[Raul Torres]

Great Stories!

I enjoyed every story in the book! All were scary and entertaining! I can't wait to read the next book in the series!
