Engaging Style

Terry Self’s narration style is perfect for Roma Gray’s writing. But it is her writing that is the star.Her writing envolves you from the first sentence. And you won’t want to stop listening until the story is finished.Easy in this instance, since the story is only 23 minutes long!

Move over Chucky!

Blue Bell is scarier than Chucky. No child’s play here. Zombies and scary dolls...oh my!

A cross between Robert and Chucky

Blue Bell is just a doll right? Wrong it comes from the bowels of Hell itself and Jasper has just unwittingly became its puppet. I know know why I don't like ventriloquist dummies and clowns this book seriously does not help that fact. Blue Bell story flows at a good pace and is very well written. I'll probably have nightmares but it's worth it. This book was phenomenal I can't wait to read more about this character.
I received this review copy at my request and it was absolutely worth it. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review because I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it to horror enthusiasts.

Engaging

The story starts giving the audience a flavor of scandalous heist and ends up giving a taste of a sinister doll. And that of Adolf Hitler??? The story was pretty engaging throughout the end. After finishing i have come to know it is a segment from Ms. Roma Gray's "Haunted House" , which i am pretty much eager to give a look.

Wish it was longer

Overall this is a clever story. Well written and the narrator did a spot on job. The only downfall is after 20 minutes and the story getting good, it invites you to listen to the next part. Trust me though, the story is captivating enough to warrant looking for the next part.

What a ride!

Roma's method of storytelling is absolutely amazing. I went into this book thinking it would be a typical clown/jump scare type story, but damn, she not only messed with my head but made me reconsider my own bias against clowns. Well done!

Terry Self's narration added a uniqueness to the book like only he could include

Blue Bell

Another seriously creepy horror tale by the amazing Roma Gray! Ms. Gray has the ability to tell a tale in such a way that you really feel like you are in the story, not just reading a story!

If clowns or ventriloquist dummies scare you, don't read this one! The picture on the cover gives you an idea of what is in store when you listen to this story.

I love old-style horror ala "The Twilight Zone" and "Night Shift" since I was raised watching those shows when I was probably too young to be exposed to them. Ms. Gray writes in the same style and I love it!

Terry Self does an amazing job (again) in his narration of this one. I hope that he continues to narrate for Ms. Gray!

The story is even creepier than the cover!

Nightmare city! Thanks for slipping into my nightmares, Roma, and I hear there's more to come … okay, I'm going to be looking for more of this creepy little monster. Since I'll be awake anyway ...

Cliffhanger

This is a promo short that introduces the reader to a story that will continue in Haunted House Harbor.

It was well written. We got a lot of backstory on Jasper and his motivations. Jasper's meeting with Blue Bell is supposed to be a life changing event but that's where the story ends so if the reader wants more they have to pick up the full length novel. I would have liked a little bit more meat and felt it ended pretty abruptly but it was a nice teaser. If you're a horror aficionado that appreciates creepy clown dolls this might be for you. I added Haunted House Harbor to my to be read someday pile.

I received a copy of this story for free from Audiobook Boom in return for an honest review. Since I listened to an audio version I should mention that the narrator did a great job and I'd happily pick up other titles using the same narrator.

Creepy and completely absorbing. I loved it.

This short audiobook only lasts for 23 minutes, yet those few minutes are enough to hook any listener.

Firstly, the clown, Bluebell, on the cover of this audiobook is enough to have potential readers freaked out even before the story begins.

Readers are introduced to Jasper, a regular guy. Someone normal. With normal problems. Out of desperation to help his ailing father, he does something he normally never would.

This leads (somehow) to him discovering a clown doll named BlueBell. This doll will change his life...forever.

It is a difficult task to create characters and a storyline that will
grab and hold a reader's attention in only 23 minutes, yet author Roma Gray accomplishes this with ease.

I did not want this story to end and am thrilled that the story continues with her full length novel HAUNTED HOUSE HARBOR.

Bluebell is narrated by Terry F. Self whose enunciation and pacing are perfect for this creepy tale.

I rate BLUEBELL as 5 out of 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of this series.
