Good Collection of Paranormal and Demonic Tales

As a fan of all things haunting, I really enjoyed these brief paranormal stories. As typical with collections like these, some are well known and others are less. While the stories depict scary events, they aren’t scary to listen to and the book is over before you know it, leaving you wanting another. Reminds me a lot of documentaries I watch on ghost stories and paranormal events.

I had heard the first book in this box set and enjoyed relistening to them as it rekindled my interest in some of the events it talks about. In general, this was a good mix of paranormal stories. There were a few like Amityville and Winchester House, which while interesting, have been documented so many times I feel like adding them to a collection is unnecessary. The second book, I hadn’t heard and really enjoyed the demonic stories. I liked how one even talked about a possible reason for a story in the first book. Glad I listened while at my computer because I was pausing and looking stuff up constantly.

Nathan Hansen did a good job. I thought he had a good tone and cadence for this type of book since this is told as a matter of fact story and doesn’t involve characters, I was quite happy with the narration.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

I enjoyed it for what it is

As a a big fan spooky stories and horror anthologies, I would recommend this book.

I've seen other reviews take issue with the sources and some of the stories discussed are very well known already. I'd have to agree with that; some of the more famous stories don't add much to the book. Unless. you've come across some new info on a high profile case, it's best to just skim over them and focus on stories readers probably haven't heard of.

That little critique out of the way, there are many stories I found entertaining. I was especially pleased to hear the few new tidbits about stories I already knew. I also really liked this was a 2-in-1 set. Those are always appriciated by budget conscious readers like myself.

Is a book of ghost stories going to leave you coming away feeling like this book changed your life? No. So I'm not sure what other people are expecting, but I enjoyed it. If you like supposedly true ghost stories and other creepy stories, I think you will too.

Ghost stories of "true" events,, but a fun read!

*This book was given to me by the author at my request, and I provided this voluntary, unbiased review.*

3.5/5

I do love a good set of dark/ghost stories, so I couldn't pass this up. It was a little bit different than what I was expecting; this was more of a documentary-style reading of reported ghost stories from around the world. While I did appreciate the research done to bring these stories to life, I would be hard pressed to call these "plausible or likely to have happened." I realize the title <Real ghost stories> is a literal figure of speech (the stories are real as spoken, but the events are probably not), but I was still a little put off by some of the language used. Examples are such as "there's no other explanation, except the supernatural," or "This is a true story/the <supernatural> events happened." I would be fine with an agnostic type of view of the events as presented, but the author clearly has a slant in the writing that I was rolling my eyes at by the end. Mentioning the bogus made-for-TV Ghost Hunters/Adventures and using that as a sort of "evidence" made me take off a star.

Even with those flaws, it was an alright book. I would recommend with caution, but still recommend it.

I love your books

I loved your books thank you!!!! I got them for free on a Facebook sponsored post!!! 😁😁😁 was right up my allie keep up the great work

Good

I preferred the first reader over the second. It was nice listening to a set of ghost stories all compiled together. I like hearing about ghosts and demons. I had heard the majority of these, but did learn a couple more by listening. Nice little compilation.

great set, definitely a must listen!

I've read one of the paperbacks and So I was super excited for this set! now I can listen to both and its perfect for my road trip! the stories in the books are some I've never heard of before, which is great because I know soooo many! perfect for any fan. i highly recommend purchasing. you wont be disappointed!

The Scares of the Two Narrators

** This audiobook was provided to me for free in exchange for my own personal honest review **

This was definitely an interesting book for me to review. All the issues I had with the Narrator and Ms. Tidy's writing choices were all solved and dealt with for the second book that was included in the package.

The first books narrator was very difficult for me to listen to. His pacing was fine, but it was very distracting for listening to the source material. I had some gripes with the first books writing choices. It felt very much at times a wikipedia article, but at others felt like it had a narrative decision from the writers perspective. I skipped many chapters.

When I got to the second book however, that's when the REAL SPOOKEMS begun. I REALLY enjoyed listening to the many stories presented, especially the last chapter. The Narrator did a great job presenting information without drawing attention to himself over the source material. A+ for him.

I'd recommend this audiobook. However, I highly recommend people to skip the first book if the Narrator is too jarring to listen to. The second book is where this audiobook holds its value.

Very interesting listen!

Very interesting listen! I love a spooky ghost story! What is better is when it's a true ghost story! I think I had heard, at least briefly about most of the stories that are included in this collection. The background on some of them I did not know. It was a great, creepy listen!

Narration was done well. Stories were well written. Includes a wide variety of stories as well. Ghost, possession stories, stories on serial killers, occult and other dark tales.

Over all four stars for me!

Same stories

Ghost Stories is a pretty decent book but the author needs to do more reseat because some of the information was incorrect. The narrator was wrong for this story because you could hear him suck in a breath and it was annoying. I received this book at my request and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Not what I was expecting

I'm a big horror fan but this one left me disappointed. I was expecting actual ghost stories, told in first person narrative. Nope, it was all third person narrative which I feel, takes away the spooky factor. The narrator didn't have the voice for ghost stories either... he was a little too peppy. I really wanted to like this book, but unfortunately this book wasn't for me.

A bumper packed collection of short stories

I absolutely adore short story collections like this . There are so many included within this collection that there will be something to appeal to every reader. Whilst I enjoyed some more than others all were highly enjoyable and well written. Although the book states that all stories are completely true I will always be sceptical but either way each story had me interested. I was given this book by the author/narrator in return for an honest and unbiased review

Dreadful Reader

Content wording a tad over dramatic, with the word "allegedly", used way too many times for what are meant to be TRUE ghost sighting accounts.
The reader has zero emotion while explaining the different stories. Quite monotone and dry. I wish I'd sampled the book first before wasting a credit on it.
