Publisher's summary

Claustrophobic, disturbing, and creepy. A lost girl is kidnapped and held for years by a dangerous man. Her doll takes the brunt of his abuse in place of the girl. Then the man is killed in a bloody and brutal attack. Now she must protect her own child from the jealous, intrusive, and sometimes vicious toy. Who will survive when they enter the crawl space under the house?

Quiet horror that punches all the buttons.

Creepy Doll!

I think the narrator did a good job, but perhaps wasn't the best fit. I think her voice seemed almost too scratchy sounding, in my opinion. Since it's such a short story, we (understandably) aren't given a whole lot of information as to whose point of view we are experiencing this horror from. Some narrators have a younger/older sound; and I think if the age was shown in the narrator's voice better, it would have made this short horror come more to life.

This short story is super creepy! I used to have dolls when I was younger but these kind of horror stories makes me glad I dont have them anymore. Sort of reminded me of Annabelle.

It may be short, but the writing is descriptive and twisted; it's well written and leaves plenty for the listener's imagination. If you're a scaredy cat like myself, but still want a little taste of horror, then this little tidbit is more than enough to satisfy that craving.

I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Brilliantly Creepy

This is my first audiobook by Dona Fox and I am now hooked. The collaboration between author and narrator produced a real symphony from written word to spoken. I look forward to more from Ms Fox, as well as more from Caroline Downs. She made the listening experience perfect.

Dolls and whispering…

The story was great. The narrator’s almost whispering voice irked me. That’s all preference though, the story was awesome.

Creepy

This entertaining short story has a creepiness factor of 10. The narrator does an excellent job adding to the eerie atmosphere.

Huh?

I've listened to this story twice now and still couldn't tell you what it's about, maybe a doll, maybe a child, maybe a mommy, maybe just a crazy lady. No idea 🤷

Extremely Creepy

Completely enjoyed the story and narration can wait for more. I definitely look forward to more.

Creepy!

A quick listen but chilling. The narration added to the suspense of the story, and I found myself wanting to know more about the main character in the story. I loved how well her insanity was protrayed, it was very believable and well written. Perfect Halloween chiller!

Creepy Crawly

A short, but oh so creepy story by the talented Dona Fox! This is the second short story that I have read by Ms. Fox and she definitely knows how to give you nightmares.

I love that the author doesn't go into gory, graphic details of the storyteller's trauma, but instead lets the reader imagine the horror all on their own. Even after finishing the story, I'm not sure if there was a true monster or just a traumatized young woman at work. And, if you aren't claustrophobic before reading this one, you probably will be afterward! And, I'm glad that I'm too old for dolls!

The narrator did a good job of adding to the creepiness of the story. I loved her subtle Southern accent too.

I received a copy of this story from the author and chose to review it.

Hauntingly perfect

Crawl Space is a creepy story and with the help of the narrator just gave me goosebumps. This tale is going to give me bloody nightmares. Well written but don't listen to it in the dark. I received this book at my request. I am now voluntarily leaving my honest review. Creepy beyond creepy.

Creepy and unnerving.

This was a great horror story. With the story being written to terrify, and the narrator's delivery, and the overall unease that Dona Fox's work always forces upon the consumer, this is yet another great addition to your library. If you are looking for a quick great horror fiction to digest, this is the way to go!
