The warehouse is filled with a maze of crates labeled with things like The Beast, Mr. Mason’s Jars, Snap, The Atomic Ants, which are filled with the things of legend, and it is CLAW’s job to make sure the objects don’t get out. But CLAW is a curious robot, and what lay inside these crates just may make their way out and haunt the imaginations of listeners everywhere.

Great Spooky Stories for Kids!

Highly entertaining and enjoyable for my 7 and 10 yr old! Great for Halloween, stormy night, etc. No it's not scary.. Just a perfect amount of creepy and fun

Fun, Spooky Romp

This was a fun spooky tale of a haunted artifact collector who stores his finds in a warehouse called the Claw. The Claw itself is a massive robot with a curios nature. The collector shares stories of some of his artifacts in this delightfully spooky tale. Each one is different. The production and cast are wonderful. Great for the whole family. Very enjoyable.

I love this podcast I think the voice, the story and the sound is great

Listened with my kids, a fun spooky podcast .
I hope they make more episodes soon!

The Claw is not so scary as it seems

The Claw is not to scary for kids 6-8 I recommend it for kids who like scary.

Easy listen and entertaining

Kids liked the humor and curiosity of the claw. Our 10 year old liked it more than our 8 year old.

Alright, could be better.

Meh, stories were ok. There are many music tracks and sound effects that I find more annoying than immersive. Sometimes they’re super quiet, sometimes they’re super loud. If you buy audiobooks to fall asleep to, that may be a problem. Most of the dialogue was pretty “cheesy”.

First time

This book was amazing and fun for my first read because it’s my first time on audible
Fist redone is because it has amazing and cool detail

It was so scary and fun

I loved the way the story was about scary stuff and it was really good

Great scary stories!

Claxon is a hunter of haunted objects who also maintains the Claxton Lore and Apparition Warehouse. When he finds a haunted object, he brings it to his warehouse where CLAW - a sentient, AI-driven machine built by Claxon - helps by putting the objects in various locations. But Claw isn't happy with just sorting the objects. He is an incredibly curious robot and also wants to know the stories behind the objects. Claxon acquiesces to CLAW's requests and tells the stories behind the objects.

In this audiobook are the stories of 7 different objects. The stories of the objects are told like scary stories at night, but the scariness is broken up by Claw's comedic interruptions. Sometimes he's asking a question, sometimes he's just making a comment about the story. What is clear from many of Claw's questions and comments is that he has a very naive worldview.

I think my favorite story was "The Tunnel" because of Claw's interaction with Stick - especially with what Claw decides to do in the end. The book is narrated by a full cast of people, and I really like the voices of Claxon and CLAW. For some fun short stories, you should definitely listen to this audiobook.

Campy but Cute

The performance was definitely not what I expected. The story (stories) matched with the performance reading gave me an RL Stine vibe. Regardless, I listened to the end. If they make more, I’ll listen to that too.
