AFRAID - Tidbits of the Macabre

De: Elizabeth Massie

Narrado por: Rebecca Clark McHugh

Two-time Bram Stoker-winning, veteran horror author Elizabeth Massie offers up a collection of some of her more obscure horror shorts, a sampling spanning nearly the entire length of her 27-year career thus far. AFRAID opens the collection with a new poem, "Afraid," which plays with the question, "Why do we read horror?" The 13 stories that follow include darkly light-hearted tales such as "Donald Meets Arnold," "Sweet Kitty," and "Sink or Swim," the graphically terrifying "Pit Boy" and "Los Penitentes," the darkly sinister "Brazen Bull," "Flip Flap," "Triptych of Terror," "Bargain Basement," "Now I'm With the Invalids," "Next Door Collector," and "Thundersylum," and the other-worldly and introspective "Beggars at Dawn."

"Massie has the stuff that makes dark fiction both entertaining and literate." ( Scary Monsters)

Afraid review

An enjoyable, worthwhile collection of short stories. Had good narration and look forward to more from the author.

Collection of stories

A few of the stories were good but some of the stories were a bit disappointing. I received this book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Gallery of Grotesques

A rather disappointing collection with predictable plot-lines and few original ideas. Narration was mediocre at best. Generally left me feeling sleepy rather than creepy.
