      "Enjoyable listen"

      The previous reviewer must have done something wrong, because I got nearly 8 hours of audio. Great narrators & great stories.

      "Great Stories (Abridged by Audible)"

      I was rather shocked when I downloaded this Audiobook to discover how much it had been cut down. While it say in my library, it claimed to have 7 hours of stories, while the Audible version only had the first hour and a half.

      "Too much horror, not enough "literature""

      I'm currently a student in an MFA in Creative Writing program, with a focus on short story.

      I am therefore trying to read a wide range of short stories, and bought this and 2 other collections from Audible.com

      I was sorry that so many of these stories were in the "horror" genre.

      "Dissapointing"

      I could only bear the first two stories. The voice is not appealing and the stories are dull.
