Dark Screams

Volume One

By: Kelley Armstrong, Bill Pronzini, Ramsey Campbell, Simon Clark, Stephen King

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

Weeds by Stephen King: When a meteorite lands on his property, Jordy Verrill envisions an easy payday. Unfortunately for Jordy, this is no ordinary rock - and the uncompromising force inside has found its first target.

The Price You Pay by Kelley Armstrong: Never pay more than you owe. Sounds like easy advice to follow. But for Kara and her childhood friend Ingrid, some debts can never be repaid... especially those tendered in blood.

Magic Eyes by Bill Pronzini: Edward James Tolliver has found a weary sort of asylum among the insane. He knows he's not one of them - but how can he tell anyone about the invaders without sounding that way?

Murder in Chains by Simon Clark: Imagine awaking to find yourself in an underground vault, chained by the neck to a murderous lunatic, a grunting goliath who seems more animal than man.

The Watched by Ramsey Campbell: Little Jimmy gets a glimpse of the cold truth when he finds out that it's not always what you see that can get you into trouble; it's who knows what you see.

Borrow this one thorough overdrive.

Seriously, this is one you want to borrow not purchase. it is worth borrowing though.

Decent collection

good collection of misc horror from famous writers. couldn't say no since it was included with audible membership

Nice Little Bits of Stories

Okay to listen to.

The standouts for me were the tales from King and Armstrong.

Murder In Chains could definitely be a full novella or novel on its own. This version is a good foundation for that.

Kept my interest!

I don’t normally like short stories via audio books, but this one is awesome. Download it today.

Nothing

To me none of the stories made a lot of sense ! They were distant and not very gripping !

Worth listening if its free

not a huge fun of Stephen King but his story was the most entertaining here. I hope the second volume is better because I bought all of them.

WISH IN ONE HAND, SPIT IN THE OTHER

DARK SCREAMS
The only screams you will get out of this collection, is when you have finished and realize how much you just got ripped off. I did enjoy the first story Weeds, by Stephen King, but the rest of the stories are so unimaginative that it does not warrant your time or money.

The narrators are all top notch good.

As close to horror as I get

Not a huge horror buff, especially if it’s just about the gore and the grotesque. But, I do love a good thriller or some goosebumps suspense. Thus, shorts that give decent creepy atmosphere and entertain get a recommendation from me. Wait for a sale as this three hour collection isn’t worth a full credit. Each short is 30-45 minutes and separated into it’s own chapter; they aren’t labeled in the Table of Contents, but they are introduced in the same order as the summary.

Weeds by Stephen King ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mission accomplished on the creepy atmosphere.

The Price You Pay by Kelley Armstrong ⭐️⭐️
Feeling Single White Female-ish domestic horror.

Magic Eye by Bill Ponzini ⭐️⭐️
Insane in the membrane … here’s where narrator Luke Arnold sells the frenetic paranoia

Murder in Chains by Simon Clark ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It’s Saw without ever seeing the antagonist.

The Watched by Ramsey Campbell ⭐️
Vengeance by Neighborhood Watch. Not sure I’d call this horror.
