By: Chad A. Clark

Narrated by: J. Stempien

Explore the confines of your imagination with this new collection from Chad A. Clark.

A Shade for Every Season consists of over 70 tales, reaching into the horror and science fiction genres and beyond. The stories may be short, but the impact is not. Take a stroll through the dark and the macabre. Hear of revenge, snatched back from beyond the grave, and monsters that will thrill and scare you. Travel into the furthest reaches and isolation of outer space.

See what lies down inside the darkness, where sometimes doors are best left unopened. Experience the thrill of the narrative - in the time it takes to finish your morning coffee.

Wow were they short

I am a big fan of horror anthologies and collections. I knew going in with the length only being 4.23 hours that they were going to be short. My surprise was how short a lot of these stories were. Again I knew going in but man some of these stories were faster than the time it took me to brush my teeth. I would listen to about 10 getting ready for work and going out the door. Some are pretty good but with the lack of time and content it leaves you with a lot more to be desired. Its a nice collection to add to your list but don't expect anything captivating. J. Stempien does a great work narrating the stories here.

An Interesting Collection

This is a collection of short stories. The stories varied from really, really short (like a snip-it) to just short. A variety of topics keeps you wondering what the next one is going to be. It's a mixture of genres as well, from horror to comedy to simple musings. If you like collections from an author that give you a taste of their writing style then you should check this one out. It's not what I would call a gripping collection of stories but it's not boring either. The narration could have had a bit more emotion to it but it didn't take away from the story. J Stempien has a nice voice and reads at a decent pace.

Very Short Short Stories

This collection had a nice mix of micro short stories and more regular length shorts. They also had a nice range of horror and comedy! While it's not the *best* collection of horror shorts I've ever listened to, I did enjoy them. J. Stempien does a fine job of narrating this one.

Dark short stories

A large collection of very short stories. The title story, A shade for every season, being the longest, at 10 minutes. I decided it wasn't a good idea to try and listen to each story back to back, but instead listened to one or two stories at a time during my smoke break to take my mind off of work for a few minutes, or during short commutes. Section 1 has various stories, some like the recollections of nightmares, others clever and humorous. Section 2 has stories relating to Christmas or winter time. In section 3, the author tells stories about various monsters from legends. One for every letter of the alphabet. Section 4, entitled "End of the road" is comprised mostly of horrors some of which involve actually being on the road. Overall, the stories are mostly dark, or dark humor, and worth a listen to anyone who likes stories roughly 2-5 minutes long.

I found the narrators voice soft and calming. I would have listened to this in bed except that I feared the stories might actually give me nightmares.
