Publisher's summary

A fairytale ball with a not-so-happy ending.  

A company that secretly experiments on the minds of the mentally ill.  

The Angel of Death with a deathwish of her own.  

Monsters who can kill with just one look into their eyes.  

These are just some of the stories When Night Falls has to offer.  

Fast-paced, thrilling, and filled to the brim with darkness and characters driven by the voices in their head, this collection focuses on the darker side of life.  

Trigger Warning: Not for the faint of heart. This collection contains stories that deal with difficult subject matter, such as murder and suicide.

Pretty good.

I'm starting to enjoy short stories more and more and had to give this a listen. This was pretty good, some stories were better than others, but overall, it's a decent read.

The narrator read a bit fast and towards the end a lot of the stories started to blend together. I wanted a little more definition between each one, but other than that he was ok.

I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts.

Best Short Story Collection...Ever

Now, I know I might have said "Best short story collection ever," like maybe ten days ago but this time I mean it. I cant believe one person can have so many great stories in her head, but they were all excellent. I have a love hate relationship with short stories though. I feel like almost all of them could have been phenomenal novels. I always want more! But other than that, this audiobook was excellent and so was the narration!! <3

This book was given to me at my request (Thank you!). I am providing a voluntary and honest review/

Great collection of short stories

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories. This was a quick and easy listen and the author is creative. I liked all the stories, although some are better than others. They all pretty much all thrillers read by one narrator. The narrator had a great voice but i actually had to slow down the listening as he talks really fast. Also, no distinction between characters, which is okay. I liked the stories and would listen to other works by this author! Give it a listen!

Do not read when you are alone

Kayla Krantz has taken our worst fears and put them into a realistic, hellish and plausible scenario. I was not expecting these stories to be as scary as they were. When I read the one about the guy who thought he was kidnapped in the hospital where everyone act did like drunks I just had to quit listening. I kept imagining what it would be like to be stuck somewhere you didn’t know how you got there what you were doing there and you couldn’t leave. It was horrible i’m sorry it wasn’t a guy it was a girl and then she got out I won’t say what happens but the whole book is full of scary stories. They’re not like monsters or vampires coming to get you, shape shifters, but they’re scary and they’re realistic which I think makes it even scarier. Kayla Krantz is a genius! I love this author I love all her books I have yet to come across one that I couldn’t finish or rather regretted finishing because it was over. She is a genius!

What a great collection!

I loved these stories. The perfect length to listen to on a car journey etc. Narrators were great, and the stories varied, so it kept my interest.

So many great stories!

I love anthologies and short stories and when I got When Night Falls By Kayla Krantz by the fifth chapter I was blown away. I think it takes a very intelligent person to get their point across it’s so short of a time and they have many different types of stories in here one a girl gets saved from being eaten by zombies and then another girl gets kidnapped but her father doesn’t want her back in those mini mini other. I love all of them… Well there was one I didn’t find that great but one out of so many stories is neither here nor there. I highly recommend this book and if you like short stories about crime sci-fi and a little romance you’ll love this book.

Not in the Dark

I thought Brett Hood was brilliant narrator for this collection of stories

There is plenty of shocking twists and will keep readers at the edge of their seats. The short snippets of poetry at the end of each story add to the intrigue of the book. The stories are on the darker side and will appeal to lovers of dark fiction.

I made the mistake of listening at night time......

Creepy and awesome!

A wonderful and terrifying collection. I enjoyed this VERY much, and the mix of story lengths and poems kept the entire project interesting. This audiobook would also be great if you wait a while between “reads.”
