This is not the typical audiobook that I normally buy. The cover just looked so interesting. I decided what the heck. Let’s see about these stories.
First, I appreciate that many of the stories are relatively short. I have six grandkids and those are the ones that I will review over and over until I can tell the story to the grandkids! Well worth the listen!

Really SCARY!

This collection offers a solid mix of creepy and weird. Each story is short enough to keep things moving but still manages to leave an eerie vibe behind. Some lean more psychological, others just plain unsettling. Great for quick listens during a walk or late at night. The narration adds an extra chill. If you're into bite-sized horror, this one’s a fun pick to keep you on edge.

I really enjoyed listening to this collection of short stories that will give you the shivers for sure. What I really liked about the stories was the perfect amount of information to hook you and give you the goosebumps but short enough to keep you engaged and not lose interest. I think that is really important in today's society of lower attention spans and instant gratification. I liked Lullaby by the Lake and Hook Man at Hollow Creek Tavern a lot, but I really loved the Beast Beneath the Moon. Growing up, I was always afraid of anything that had to do with werewolves, so I actually went and listened to that one first. It did not disappoint, and the ending is very open ended and has me still thinking.

I picked this up for some quick nighttime reading and ended up double-checking my locks. The stories are short enough to fit into a busy day but still pack a punch. A couple left me thinking about them the next morning. I liked how different each one felt—some weird, some chilling, some just plain unsettling. It reminded me of the kind of spooky stuff I used to whisper about at sleepovers. Definitely worth it if you like fast scares.
