The stories totally make up for the bad editing

I loved this collection (which I understand is the second) so much, I will immediately purchase the first one!

Be warned: There is no pause between stories AT ALL! The title of a story often sounds like the last word in the sentence being spoken.

You will not have much problems dealing with the poor editing if you always pay close attention whilst listening. If you drift off for a second though, you will be well into the next story without knowing the last one even ended.

Even though I felt like the editing left much to be desired, I felt like the stories made up for it, and then some.

All in all, I enjoyed this book immensely!

Irritating

Some stories were very good while others were made mediocre by the editors. When a story was finished, the narrator immediately set up the next story which affected the final thoughts of the finished story. After the setup, a short musical interlude was played. Would have been better to put the interlude after the story and before the setup. Overall decent.

Whoever put this audio together....

The short stories are delightfully off the wall and I love it. The narrator is good too. But whoever put this audio together did a terrible job. Whenever the narrator states the title of the next story it's done so a breath after the sentence of the last story and if you're not ready for it, you're confused as to what happened to the last story. A pause in between the last sentence and the next story title would've gone a long way. It sounds like someone tried cutting corners and jammed the audio together. That's disappointing because Little's tales are bizarre and you need a second to absorb them.

Great stories, terrible editing

Any additional comments?

I loved listening to these Bentley stories. Unfortunately, whoever did the editing did a really poor job. All the stories ran together like a single sentence. There was no pause to let me know a new story was beginning and I had to rewind several times because of this. It was confusing and frustrating.

Not the best...

Half of the stories didn't seem to have endings! They abruptly and randomly ended. But because the narration didn't even pause, you often didn't realize that a new story began.

Bentley Little, Volume 2

This audiobook was good, but not as good as Volume 1. A lot of the same stories were put on Volume 2 that we're from Volume 1. The narrator was ok. I think it would have been presented a little bit better if there were multiple voices narrating. It would have painted a better picture for the stories.

Great!

Bentley Little is one of my favorite horror fiction authors of all time. Great collection series.

Quite Good!

Some of the stories are quite good and leave you wanting more, but keeping with the Noir feel of the era. They are short and sweet. Overall, I found them enjoyable.
