Great mix of short stories.

This is a collection of 10 short stories, Jackson Stables by Ron Ripley, Music Box by A. I. Nasser, Lost Dog by David Longhorn, Trick or Treat by Sara Clancy, The Steak House by Ron Ripley, Thunder Run by David Longhorn, Faces by A. I. Nasser, Initial Impression by David Longhorn, Closer by Sara Clancy and The Sins We Hide by A.I Nasser. I usually avoid short story collections because I always end up unsatisfied with the stories, they seem to always feel rushed and not complete, but I loved this collection and each book felt like a full story. I didn't feel like the stories were unfinished!

I also usually write notes to myself when reading short stories so I can keep track of what each one was about and my thoughts on each, but I forgot to with this one because when I started listening, I couldn't stop. Each story was well written, some were a lot creepier than others but each one was thoroughly enjoyable and kept me hooked.

Each author has their own distinctive style but one thing they have in common is their ability to tell a story. I think my favourites were the Steak House, Closer and The Sins We Hide.

Thom Bowers has grown a lot as a narrator and has become a better performer. He read each story really well and gave each character their own voice and personality.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Excellent stories

Another great set of stories from the Scare Street authors. Well written entertaining horror stories.

Solid Collection of Creepiness

I was really impressed with the way that this short story collection turned out. Often times when looking at a collection the stories seem stunted and like they haven't been given enough room to grow into a full experience, but this definitely doesn't fall under that category. The first story was creepy and immersive and it didn't let go after that until the end of the 6 hour run-time. Each story was varied and interesting from a different pov and in a different setting but they each succeeded at creeping me out and delivering an exciting storyline.

I really enjoyed this collection. I received the review code for this audiobook at my request and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Great short story collection

I loved this collection of short stories. Well worth reading. From ghost horses, all till the end with a chilling story of a little girl and her want of revenge. These writers have given me many hours of entertainment and creepy vibes. The narrator is so good at his job, that now enough when I read one of Scare Street many books I imagine this narrator's voice in my head. Read this book you will not forget these stories.

Awesome Collection!

Review Copied from My review of the "Shadows Books 1-3" Set:
I own all the books in this series in both Kindle and Now Audible formats. While I Love being able to read the books, being able to listen to them while driving my car too is even better. There's nothing better than a short trip to the store and being able to listen to something just perfect enough for short trips. Highly Recommended.

Great sampling of eerie stories

I always enjoy listening to short stories and this collection is great. The narrator has a smooth easy to listen to voice that really brought each story to life. These horror shorts had plenty of creepy good twists that was often gripping and definitely scary. Each story was a nice sampling of the authors unique talents for story telling. While my favorite story was the last one, I enjoyed the entire collection.

Much better than the other two anthologies

I wasn't expecting much from this considering two previous short story anthologies left me bored and disgruntled. But, since I was given the audiobook in exchange for a review, I figured I'd listen to it. Before you start thinking, "Oh, she was given this and feels obligated to give lots of stars and a good review," I want to assure you that's not my way. I was given those other two I mentioned as well, but left scathing reviews and very few stars.

I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The writing for all the stories was much better, the ideas interesting and original, and the narration superb. I mean, you can't go wrong with Thom Bowers. Thank goodness they discovered him. Lovely gem.

Unlike the other anthologies, not all of the stories in this one had grisly endings. Sometimes, shockingly, people lived. In the others, people died no matter what. In this, if the story didn't give good reason for their death, they didn't die. I LOVED that! Horror doesn't mean everyone has to die.

This book kept me listening for hours on end. I didn't want to put it down and kept thinking, "One more chapter. Just one more..."

Great collection of spooky stories.

My kids love scary stuff and this didn't disappoint. Some stories are better than others, but they are all good. Definitely recommend.

Clean, scary stories

Be sure your doors and windows are shut and locked before listening to these stories. It's like telling ghost stories around a campfire.

Short story's that keep u guessing what's next and how it'd gonna happen keeps you listening
