Two Supernatural Shorts
This volume contains two longer stories and I felt I had more time to invest in the characters and plot like this. The narrator for this audiobook is still a nostalgic favorite. His cadence and tone are oddly soothing even with these paranormal shorts.
The first story reminded me of the Bell Witch series with the creepy box. Sinister and suspenseful theme with a truly evil grandmother. The second story is more a mixture of the outcome of greed and be careful what you wish for scenario. A mirror that holds a dark secret and a family member that let's his narcissism get the better of him.
Though I wouldn't call this a novel or collection (maybe more of a novella edition) I enjoyed the paranormal stories and look forward to more.

2 Good Horror Shorts
I absolutely love this short story series only complaint always want more and hate when they end. I enjoyed both stories no favorites this time. 1st Home Again don’t open box that grandpa said to never to you may open another Pandora box; 2nd The Inhabitant of the Mirror, poor Michael knew something was wrong about it. Highly recommend if you want quite horror shorts with good narration, keep them coming.

Great pair of stories
Great pair of stories, both a lesson in leaving family heirlooms alone once their relatives have passes, or maybe they are still hanging around in one form or another? I love these short stories, I imagine they’d be great for around the campfire, though I always seem to read them right before bed! Great combination of creepy and creative done by the authors. I wish I knew how they came up with their stories. If you like creepy stories definitely give these a read! I enjoy John Pirhalla’s narration, he does a fantastic job!

Not all old things are beautiful!
Why is it that we’re drawn to the old things that we’ve been told not to touch, or feel the need to look into things we were told to destroy? I’ve always hated mirrors, and the second story in this book just enforces that. I loved the stories! It’s a wonderful book with terrible creatures, and definitely makes you think about the what ifs.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She’s not sure what she will find - her cousin’s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noemí knows little about the region. Noemí is also an unlikely rescuer: She’s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid.

Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....
