Quarter to Midnight

Fifteen Tales of Horror and Suspense

By: Darcy Coates

Narrated by: Shane Emmett

Push past the curtains of the rational, safe world and explore the un-nameable horrors living in the darkest corners of our conscience. This is the realm of monsters and shifting shadows, where a single wrong step can plunge you into a terrifying, irreversible fight for your life.

• You discover a door behind your bedroom's wallpaper. It's probably just a small crawlspace. There's nothing unusual about it...except for the quiet tapping noise you hear late at night.
• A young child went missing while exploring a disused cemetery in 1965. More than 50 years later you face the gate to the abandoned graveyard, armed with a clue that could lead to answers about the boy's fate.
• A mannequin is stored in the back of your rented basement room. Sometimes its dust cloth falls off. Sometimes you feel it watching you. And sometimes it moves while you're asleep....

Ok

Some of the stories were silly but it was entertaining enough to get me through some craft projects.

Revisiting same theme

I really liked how she kind of sticks to stalker horror theme and explores different angles

Quarter to midnight

I loved the stories. They were all good. The only reason for the 4 star ratings is because a couple of the stories were to much alike. Over all it was a good book and I would recommend it.

FUN Stories!!

These were FUN short stories, I like that on some of them ya had to use your imagination at the end.

Solid Spooky Story-Telling

Darcy Coates delivers her signature scary punch in this wonderful compilation. They're the literary equivalent of a good PG13 horror movie. They're suspenseful as hell without being Stephen King level disturbing or dripping with profanity. Honestly, most of these you could probably listen to with an 11 year old (if they're horror fans). Several have fun twists, while others you get exactly what you were hoping for. You'll definitely be jumping at shadows by the end.
