From manipulative lovers to deadly gurus, from a trail of small deceptions to life-shattering betrayals, these stories will pull you to the edge of trust and shove you over. Stay vigilant. The little red flags are waving.

excellent short social media horror stories

Excellent compilation of short stories by various authors. Most stories are based on modern social issues, primarily social media, celebrity fandoms, and cults.

A different kind of creepy in each story

While the entirety of this book may not strike a killing blow for every listener, there are at least several dark and ominous tales that will resonate with everyone. (I loved them all, so maybe I'm weird.) Spanning from direct attacks, to subtle scheming, to downright bizarre the variety hits upon all sorts of danger and thrilling vibes. Narration is stunningly performed by Cheryl May with every dastardly thought spoken directly into your waiting and hungry brain. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.]
