Pray Lied Eve

Short Tales of the Untoward

De: Lydia Peever

Narrado por: D. Michael Hope

Kaia is haunted by fingerprints marring the basement door. No matter how hard she scrubs, they return day after day. The only things in the cellar are old Halloween decorations, and she double checks everyday.

Connor has sighted the most miraculous and mysterious thing in his life. Either no one else can see them or no one believes it. Ice balls larger than a fist smash to the ground regularly. When the church bells ring just right, another one falls.

Laurel knows animals can talk. Sometimes they ask her to do things. One will explain why they have always been drawn to her. By that time, she has grown, and so have they, into hideous demons with terrible demands.

Three tales of fear, confusion, and hopelessness from the author of Nightface, Lydia Peever.

Horror, weird tales, stories of the supernatural. Call them what you will, these three tales were too long to be considered short by most markets and not long enough to be novellas. It takes only as many words used to tell a story; no more and no less.

Instead of hacking Pray Lied Eve into pieces, we bind these three into one offering.

nice collection of short stories

This is a short collection of horror stories that turned out to be pretty good. They all had their own creep factor and were all unique. The narrator did a pretty good job on the narration. As I said, all three stories were unique and interesting. All in all, this was an enjoyable couple hours of listening.

Halloween, Snowballs, Chicken Eggs

Three creepy tales, creepy in that they give you a creepy vibe more so than terrifying you. The first one was my favorite as I thought it was the creepiest and really liked how it ended. I thought it was a neat story and it had me on the edge of my seat. Like many paranormal ghost stories this focuses on a single woman living in a home and the fear that comes when things start to go bump in the night.
The second story was actually a really cool story that I liked up until the last few minutes. The isolation that you feel along with the main character is heavy and the curiosity of what is going on is maddening. The ending totally surprised me and unfortunately it wasn’t a good surprise. I was hoping for maybe something a little simpler as we were given in the first one.
The third story was my second favorite. Other than the whole talking to animals aspect the story was quite simple. I enjoyed that aspect of it and the direction it takes was not at all expected. It did seem quite innocuous until the ending and that is where the story really hit the mark. This was the goriest tale and the most bizarre. I only wish it ended a few sentences earlier or continued on for a few more.
The narrator did a really good job. After listening to the first story I honestly thought that I had heard a female read it. He got me into the character so perfectly that I heard it as if she was reading the story and not him. His voices for the different characters and demons were fantastic. These stories were focused solely on the main protagonist of each respective story and D. Michael Hope did a great job of luring you into that character so that you were in each story and not just listening to it.

Truly original and creative

In a sea of redundant garbage there are very few true storytellers out there. Each one of these short stories gives you just enough set up to see how mysterious the situation is. Then as the story unfolds you are treated to a new and unique concept and left to ponder the possibilities on your own. Lydia Peever is going on my favorite authors list. I hope to see more of her works on audible soon.
Read in the spooky voice of D. Michael Hope who could make a Denny's menu sound horrifying.

Spooky Short Form Horror

'Pray Lied Eve' is a collection of three short stories of the horror/paranormal variety. I throughly enjoyed each one of them and I also have the same complaint about each of them - they ended suddenly and without, at least as far as I could tell, much effort to wrap the stories up satisfyingly. I think it could also be the literal fact that there is no breath/space/bit of air between the end of the stories and the beginning of the next one. For two of them, I wasn't sure it had actually ended! That's a technical mistake but the endings were indeed weak. All of that said, I did enjoy these three tales and they were each uniquely interesting. D. Michael Hope delivers a satisfying narrative performance!
