Great horror tales. A must for any horror fan.

Wonderful dark tales of horror and woe and terror. Chandra skyye needs a bit more practicr narrating.

Felt like stories were unfinished

some good stories but a lot of them felt like unfinished thoughts on a longer idea for a story. Would be upset if I spent money or a credit on it, but since it was included it was what it was worth.

how many times can we possibly say "therefore"

struggled to continue to listen, failed very short in the thriller department. narration weak, and without depth

Meh. No second listen.

Good performance. This writer CAN write and there are a few passages with exceptional vision and prose. I just wish all the stories lived up to their potential.

Entertaining

an anthology of short horror stories, they won't wow you, but they will keep you entertained and may give you the chills.

Entertaining

Overall I enjoyed this book. I did get bored on a few of the stories however, I was entertained and even surprised by others

Trigger Warning:

This series of short stories contains sexual assault and rape. Its not explicit in the details but i still feel it should be mentioned. The story’s are definitely creepy but its just kinda set up like one of those ‘lets never meet again’ redit posts.

Not very original

These stories are good to pass time, although it really seems like this author dislikes children.

Short Horror Fiction You Will Enjoy

Short horror fiction is an art form. Many of my fondest childhood memories revolved around picking up old horror comics and reading the 3 or 4 bite-sized stories inside. Cliff Barlow has succeeded in taking me back to those days. Too many horror writers try for the novel, but lack the stamina and settle for publishing the short-story. Barlow uses the everyday backdrops we take for granted where horrible things happen.

The narrative by Chandra Skyye does take away a little bit, if you let it. As it has been documented, her inability to pronounce her "t's" when pronouncing a word like "written" was amusing but does stand out. But did not take away from the enjoyment for me.

I hope to read more from Cliff Barlow. Great Audible Plus listen for horror fans.

Spooky Stories...Yes, Please! :D

Lots of short scray stories put together, pretty well in my opinion. Very good narration and had me going a couple times. Loved it!!
