Acerca de esta escucha
A collection of highly disturbing and deeply original short stories from the master of horror Graham Masterton and rising star Dawn G Harris. A belt adorned with strange markings has the power to strangle anyone who attacks its owner. A man whose wife has been placed into a portrait at the Tate decides to join her on the other side. A woman burns and mutilates herself to look like her surviving friend in the wake of a horrible car accident. In these and other unsettling tales, master of horror Graham Masterton and his protegee Dawn G Harris explore the dark side of human nature—from the graphic and violent to the spine-tingling and supernatural.

Historia
On an isolated farm in southern Ireland, a decades-old grave houses the dismembered bones of 11 women. Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire of the Irish Gardai is used to bloodshed, but these white bones speak of unimaginable butchery. Not far away, a young American tourist is at the mercy of a sadistic killer. His tools are a boning knife, twine, and a doll fashioned from rags, nails, and fish-hooks. The murder of his victims is secondary only to his pleasure at their pain.

The visionary writer and director of Get Out, Us, and Nope, and founder of Monkeypaw Productions, curates this groundbreaking anthology of all-new stories of Black horror, exploring not only the terrors of the supernatural but the chilling reality of injustice that haunts our nation. Featuring an introduction by Peele and an all-star roster of beloved writers and new voices, Out There Screaming is a master class in horror, and—like his spine-chilling films—its stories prey on everything we think we know about our world . . . and redefine what it means to be afraid.

Trigger warning! And mixed review
This book has several stories that reference sexual abuse of children, one very graphically. I think that should be made clear in the description. There is a warning in the intro that the stories aren’t for everyone, but even that wasn’t clear about why it might be too much for some - and if you’re listening to the intro you’ve already bought the book so too little too late in my opinion.
There’s also a lot of sexual activity between adults so I’d say if sex in horror fiction isn’t your thing, this book isn’t for you.
That being said, the stories - even the troubling ones - were well written. It took me a bit to adjust to the narrator but by the end I liked her. Overall, not my favorite horror anthology but I kept listening to the end so that’s something. There were a couple stories that were quite suspenseful, and some moments of true horror but the rest of the time I was hoping for horrors not related to abuse or deprivation.
I’m torn on rating this. I’m not at all opposed to graphic stories about violent things done to people, but if the author takes it there I want it to be part of stories that scare me and on the whole this collection was more unsettling and depressing than spine chilling. Well written, well narrated but not something that would freak me out if I were listening to it alone in the woods at night - which is what I want.
