The reader was dedicated to his craft and the stories were most certainly out of the ordinary.

Some of the stories here were most certainly entertaining in regards to the angle of the legend they were inspired from. However, some of the stories were little more than intellectual fodder that would have been interesting discussions but certainly not compelling or even creepy stories.

Loved it

Great reimagined legends! Always love the collections edited by Datlow and the performance was amazing.

GOOD, BUT NOT Great

Some stories were really good, while some I struggled to concentrate to finish. All in all wasn't too bad.

interesting!

when I first listened to this I didn't think I was going to get into it, but as the stories progressed they got good. there might have been a couple of them I wonder what the authors been smoking, LOL. the narrator did a good job. I have to say these are good stories.

narrator ruins it

He can’t pronounce words correctly, reads with almost NO inflection, and what is up with his accents??? Ruins it utterly
