Sacrum Umbra

The Gothic Horror of Amanda M. Lyons

By: Amanda Lyons

Narrated by: Paul Burt

In the dark heart of our imagination, and the haunted corners our past there are places we fear to tread. As much as we might try to outrun them, as much as we might try to deny their truths, we are owned by their shape, molded by their claws. The story of our being, they form a Sacrum Umbra, a sacred shadow of improbable origin - our own dark heart.

Excellent

I’ve listened to and read so many collections of short stories but this is definitely one of the best.
The first 3 stories were the best. The shaman story was my favorite. I wish I could remember the names of all of the stories.
I will be looking for more by this author. I loved the originality. It felt like everything was a new concept even with well known stories.
The narrator, Paul Burt’s voice reminded me of Colman Domingo. He did an excellent job.

I was voluntarily provided this review copy at no charge by the author, publisher and or narrator.

Sacrum Umbra

I did not like or dislike this book.It was just 'ok'.Narration was ok.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.' 

Not what I expected

The stories in this collection are a lot more erotic than I was expecting. I enjoyed the references to other popular tales even though they were taken to the extreme. Blood gore and sex. Reader beware.

Haunting

Well written and haunting stories with dark narration that aptly matched the tone of the varied stories. I particularly enjoyed "All That Remains" (Chapter 3) and "She Walks with Me" (Chapter 7).

Excellent
