good stories, decent performances, terrible format

only issue is the chapters, each story should be it's own. the current format makes little sense

Great stories except the baseball essay

I enjoyed all of the stories, especially the one about the Cadillac, but the baseball essay at the end was out of place and kind of boring. Definitely should not have been put into a horror book.

Great Book

Perhaps the best in this Set Dolan's Cadillac and Umneys Last Case, the rest are good, but nothing special imo, well read and Narration was on point, overall, Worth the read.

Meh...

Why would you choose a narrator for The House on Maple Street with a massive distracting lisp and a wacky accent??? It's one of my favorite stories but was unlistenable due to her marble-mouthed delivery. Annoying. Also annoying is that it's not broken up into chapters by story, so you have to search for a story as if it's a cassette mixtape. I love this book, but what a lackluster attempt on the audiobook.

just OK for me

I'm a big fan of Mr. King however these stories didn't grab me as I thought they would. I have never listened to them before and have to admit I'm a bit disappointed.

Mind blown

Whether long or short-story I am always amazed at SK’s imagination. I’m equally impressed that the ending can’t always be predicted. And yes, I think I would listen to his grocery list if he decided to publish it.
