Story
It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Even clear waters descend to pitch black.

When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Story
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers. My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

And one woman who had thought she had lost everything there was to lose in life would soon find that nothing could possibly prepare her for what would come when she entered their world.

Joshua Saxon is a narrator God...
Being that I love Joshua Saxon's narration skills, when I was offered a review copy via Audible, I accepted and here we are!
I previously read about 20 % of this book a while back, but I was in a short story slump at the time and never finished it. I thought perhaps Saxon's voicing would help me this time around and I'm happy to report that I was right!
This was a rather large collection, with a variety of dark fiction stories that were sort of all over the map. It seems that David Niall Wilson is a master, no matter what he's writing about. (As Joshua Saxon is a master, no matter what he's narrating.) There were a few stories that really stood out for me and they were:
She Mourned
If You Were Glass-this might've been my favorite. What a dark, dark tale!
The Whirling Man-another chilling story that Saxon's voicing brought to life.
Teachable Moments-Maybe I'd rather not learn?
Wayne's World-not the one you're probably thinking of.
The Devil's in the Flaws-I really dug this one and to be honest, I wanted more of it!
There were 21 stories here and they were all good, but the ones I've listed above were exceptional.
Joshua Saxon is a narrator God, right up there with Ray Porter, Matt Godfrey and a few other of my favorites. (Saxon narrated a 34 hour sequel to The Odyssey and made every moment exciting, not every narrator can do that!) As with Ray Porter and Jonathan Maberry, who together show what narrators can do with great material, Wilson and Saxon create an unbeatable team. I hope to read or listen to more from them both in the future.
Overall, this is a solid collection of stories and while they are all dark in some form or another, the variety was stunning. Recommended, especially to fans of anthologies and collections!
*Thanks to the narrator for the audio review copy.*
