Sets the bar high for anthologies

Of course not every story is going to be as good as the rest but in this book they all come really close. I loved almost all of them and liked the ones I didn't love. The narration was exquisite too.

just okay

I remember reading this collection when it first came out. And I remember thinking that most of the stories in it were just okay. And, boy, were my memories right.

But I was jonesing for some more Julia Whelan narration, so I picked this up.

The rest of the narrators were just okay, nothing to write home about. And poor Julia only got to narrate, like, three stories here, two of them in a dumb Southern redneck voice, rather than her own, which stunk.

Most of the stories were just okay and, for me at least, the best one was the Alice In Wonderland take-off (which was read, of course, by Julia Whelan). That being said, there was only one serious stinker in the bunch, and that was "M".

If you have money to burn on something fairly mediocre or just plain aren't picky, this audiobook gets my vote.

a book you have to hear.

If you are a fan of horror stories then this is the book for you. There are several stories in this book each different then the last. My favorite being about krow kollum. just do yourself a favor and get this book.

Unique collection!

I have long been tempted to buy this book and I'm so glad I went with the audio version. I really enjoyed listening to these stories while I was driving. I can honestly say I enjoyed every story except for two. Very creative stories inspired by popular and lesser known works. I would definitely recommend this collection, although the tales are spooky and gory, for the most part there wasn't anything I couldn't handle and I'm not a fan of horror. The stories I didn't enjoy were mostly due to the narrator using voices that distracted too much from the plot rather than adding to it.

One of the best anthologies I've read

I really enjoyed this anthology. It was a great mix of styles and story types. It is hard to pick a favourite.

teenage here

I totally love it. I keeps listening to it over and over like 5x. even my friends enjoyed this book.

Great book!!!!

I couldn’t put this book down! I hesitated a little because it’s for YA but it didn’t make a difference in the least. Awesome stories and great narration.

creepy and satisfying

short stories that all send a chill. I cant pick which one I liked the most!

So So

The story I really enjoyed was the one based on the omen and Alice in wonder land.
