Publisher's summary

With this unique collection, acclaimed author Glen Hirshberg breathes new life into an age-old literary tradition.

In the title story a husband struggles with the grief and confusion of losing two children, and forms an odd bond with the infant spectrals that visit him in the night. "Dancing Men" depicts one of the creepiest rites of passage in recent memory when a boy visits his deranged grandfather in the New Mexico desert. "Struwwelpeter" introduces us to a brilliant, treacherous adolescent whose violent tendencies and reckless mischief reach a sinister pinnacle as Halloween descends on a rundown Pacific Northwest fishing village. Tormented by his guilty conscience, a young man plumbs the depths of atonement as he and his favorite cousin commune with the almighty Hawaiian surf in "Shipwreck Beach". In "Mr. Dark¹s Carnival", a college professor confronts his own dark places in the form of a mysterious haunted house steeped in the folklore of grisly badlands justice.

Creepy Good

I found all of these delightful. I enjoy audiobooks and I really, really liked the narrator. Her voice was clear and perfect for all four of these tales.
I will have to say that Shipwreck Beach and Mr Dark’s Carnival were my favorites. They frighten me and push me over my comfort (which is always a good thing).
Struwwelpeter, Dancing Men and The Two Sams were well written and cleverly executed.
All were creepy scare tales that made me wish I had listened to this sooner. If you love a good ghost story then this is what you’ve been looking for. I highly recommend listening to this book.
I received this as a gift and am voluntarily giving my honest review.
