It Haunts the Mind: And Other Stories

From Nick Roberts, the best-selling author of The Exorcist's House and Anathema, comes fifteen dark tales that are as horrific as they are moving.

Witness absolute evil in “Sally Under the Bed” and “It Haunts the Mind.” Endure vengeance and violence in “The Noose” and “The Bitter End.” Face the realities of addiction and grief in “Thanks for Sharing” and “The Weeping Wind.”

Survive otherworldly monsters in “The Paperboy” and “Voodoo Bay.”In balancing the terrors of the supernatural with the horrors of real life, this collection drags you down the dark alleys of a haunted mind, forcing you to confront your demons, both real and imaginary.

“Come for the horror, stay for the heartbreaking emotion that bleeds into every page. Roberts really shows his range here, and it’s obvious early on in these stories that they will stick with you long after reading them. It Haunts The Mind is that damn good.”—John Durgin, author of The Cursed Among Us and Inside The Devil’s Nest.

“Nick Roberts has an uncanny ability to scare the bejesus out of readers. With It Haunts the Mind & Other Stories, he does it time and time again. Highly recommended if you don’t want to sleep in the dark again.”—James Aquilone, Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor and writer of Classic Monsters Unleashed, Shakespeare Unleashed, and Kolchak: The Night Stalker - 50th Anniversary

Great storylines

I read a lot of horror stories and found some of these tales pretty scary. Especially Sally Under the Bed. I recommend greater breaks between each story to differentiate.

Great Collection of Short Horror Stories

It’s difficult to tell a good short story but Nick Robert’s does a great job! I enjoyed every single one.

Meh

Through audible the stories were cut short before starting the next one. Not sure why that was happening. So I never heard the conclusion to the stories. Good enough stories. The narrator was boring as hell though.

These stories will HAUNT YOUR MIND FOR MONTHS!

LOVE short story collections. This one was totally different than any I’ve read. The title It Haunts the Mind is the absolute perfect name for this book. It had all I love in horror books and then some. It had monsters of all types, including human and substances. I grew up in a household with substance abuse issues and I will tell you those memories haunt my mind more than any horror movie or book I’ve ever read. These stories were beautiful, ugly, moving and terrifying. BRAVO and thank you for this collection!

I CANNOT believe this is free

Truly an incredible collection of stories. Don’t hesitate on listening. Number 9 and 14 might be my favorite ones. God I love a surprise happy ending 🥹
