About this listen
Flash fiction collection.
Lurk within my mind(s) and see the terrors that await thee.... Just keep in mind, once in my mind, you cannot flee....
Nightmare realities.... Demonic anomalies. Unquenchable thirst for blood and rabid hunger for warm, quivering flesh.... Descend into the foulest depths of hell.
Five flashes of terror to torment your mind.... Allow Eyenot to drag you through the darkness. You may never find your way back to the light.

Toneye's Chilling Tales

The vision of hell laid out in the first story is an interesting one that I hope the author, Toneye Eyenot, revisits. The bartering system, the potential for a “get out of hell free, card”, and the compelling demon who introduces the new soul to its eternal torment were all aspects of the story that I felt were begging to be expanded upon. (A sign of a great piece of flash fiction!)
Not all the stories were quite as compelling as the first. The third felt rather laborious - which isn’t usually something one can say about flash fiction - and the last didn't feel like it fit with the others, but overall it was an entertaining collection with more good stories than bad. (And thankfully none of the bloodsucking nightmares were remotely sparkly, so it was worth listening to just for that.)
The narrator Steve Wojtas did a great job. His sneering, supercilious, seductive demon in the first story was very reminiscent of Tim Curry, and was immediately contrasted by his hesitant, vulnerable, and ultimately chilling performance of the character in the second. Though I'm not sure if he can do more than those two accents, both were well suited to their respective stories. His style of narration helped to bring these short stories to life and to fully animate the author’s characters despite the brevity of the format.
I enjoyed the creepy, humorous, twisted tales in this book, and would definitely listen to other short story collections by this author, especially any future collaborations with this narrator. Perhaps I was influenced by the narrator’s performance, but as I was listening to these stories I really felt as though they were being told *to* me. I attend my local writing group’s shows and these stories reminded me of the more engaging ones; as if the author has written them as performances, as stories that want to be spoken, whispered, or screamed out into the night…
I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys short stories, or horror stories. It was the perfect book to welcome in the month that will bring us Hallowe’en!
