Creepy!

Started listening to this audiobook right before bed... in the dark. Bad idea! I got the heebie jeebies and I had to listen to a different audiobook to calm my nerves LOL!

The book contains seven different stories, what I loved most was that each story had a different narrator ranging from both male and female. Most of the stories had me hooked from beginning to end, except for "Music from the Gun Room"- didn't care too much about that one, but everyone has their preferences. Overall this audiobook was awesome! Perfect for getting me pumped for the upcoming Fall season!!

Excellent

The ability to create entertaining short stories is a real talent
The whole Collection was fabulous but my top picks are
Light sleeper about why you shouldn’t investigate the bumps in the night
The clearing about if a curse is real or people reached a braking point
And music from the gun room a more psychological horror of a father telling his son the story of the tragic night his high school band set out to Record an album
A well narrated debut I’m excited to see what the author comes up with next

Best collection of horror!

At my request, I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Wow! I think this is easily my favorite collection of spooky stories that I’ve heard so far. Each story was equally unnerving in its own twilight zone kind of way. I think the very last one got me the most though. And I even had a dream about the story about the kid who experiences first hand the loss of control people experience from going to the cursed clearing in the woods. I was woken up by my phone ringing, and thank god it did. I actually feel like I know full well the feeling of stabbing someone. What it feels like to do it and then see it and realize what you’ve done. Horrifying!!

Gosh it really messed me up! But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love every second of it. 5 stars in my opinion!

I highly recommend this book. If I didn’t already have it in my library, I’d go out and buy it right now.

Spider Season

This is an engaging collection of short stories. Each story has a good plot and strong characters. These tales are a mixture of different subjects and levels of horror. There is good world building and character depth to them, and all of the stories kept me interested. They move at a good pace and quickly pull you in. I enjoyed the story Light Sleeper the best especially with its ending which I did not see coming. If you like a bit of scare to your stories you will enjoy this collection. The narration is done well and is easy to understand with a good tempo.

Great Collection ... Want More

This was a great collection of horror stories and quite a mixed bag. There were some supernatural ones, and just some plain nightmare scenario ones. The psychological terror of these stories infects your mind while you listen and you will probably want some easy reading after you finish this book. Typically, with collections of short stories you get a spectrum of good and bad ones, can’t say that there was one that I didn’t enjoy. Each story is unique and has a different feel as if they were written by different authors. I definitely look forward to more from this author.

By far my favorite was “Music from the Gun Room”. Not only did it perfectly describe the high school rock band experience, but it was the one that affected me the most. I hope the author was a drummer at one point because he perfectly pegged that character. The story itself is awful and the most realistic and probable. It really got under my skin and the last few minutes of the story, which provides a bit of an epilogue, really depressed me. Been a long time since a short story affected me this way. It was simple, yet a very powerful story.

I liked that there were different narrators for the stories. It really changed the dynamic of the them and allowed each one to stand out amongst the others. Each narrator paired perfectly to the story and provided the right character voices and emotion for each story. Collections with the same narrator might be ruined for me now. The music was really neat too, I wish there was more of it throughout the book. Reminded me a bit of the Twin Peaks theme.
