Interesting collection

I loved the ironic ending to many of these short stories They really held my interest and it was helpful to have each story read by a different narrator.

Just ok

You certainly couldn’t call any of these stories scary, or suspenseful even. Overall - ok stories, but I’m thankful that I didn’t spend a credit on them.

Interesting Mix of Authors

I enjoyed the variety, spiced up with some of my favorite mystery writers. I wish, though, that Emily Sutton-Smith had narrated more of the stories.

A decent collection

I have to say that I enjoyed these collections more than most all of the stories were at least three stars. Three of them were five stars. Normally I do not like collections but this one was worth it because it gave me some new authors to listen to .

Brilliance

Each story captured my attention and kept me guessing to the very end. The last story "ATM" made me cry.

Short stories vs full length stories

Each story was gripping enough for me to continue. The narration of each was easy on the ears. I agree with the title, though for me it's 3am. But I left each story wanting more. To know what happened with the white van and son, Dr. Bell, the crypt and homeless vet, etc. I guess I'm more of a full length story reader.

Good read!

This kept me entertained. I think everyone will like it - some stories are better than others.

Good but not great

Most of the stories were good but some of them were a waste of a listen so I give this read an average score of 4. The good part is that every chapter is a new story so if you don't like one, just skip it.

Great stories…

I loved the stories, although they weren’t scary as Jeffrey promised. Matt Godfrey sometimes has a warble in his voice that can be quite annoying, but when he’s not doing that, he’s enjoyable to listen to.

Mostly good

Interesting stories. Good to hear from different authors and different narrators. Would have been better for me if there was a bit of a pause between stories.
