About This Collection

"Earlier this fall, I set myself a challenge I will probably regret: I was putting together a list of the creepiest audiobooks for Halloween, and then for some reason I decided to road-test them by listening (or re-listening) to them myself...all alone...at night. OK, not quite alone. But my late-night dog walks, accompanied though they are by my mini Goldendoodle, Louie, are spooky. I’ve always found the suburbs unnerving—who knows what lurks behind closed doors, or that rustling bush?!—and though I am a certified horror fiend, the genre also makes me really scared (which is when I love it the most!). The scariest is when Louie and I explore the big golf course behind our house, which tacitly admits neighborhood dog walkers after closing but most of the time is utterly eerie in its emptiness, and one doesn't know if it would be better to run into another human—or worse.For this list, I focused mostly on classic horror novels I'd already listened to as well as a few newer ones, and some creepy short stories perfect for finishing over a dog walk or two. My ratings are totally subjective and reflect only my personal experience of fear when listening, not literary merit, performance, plot, or otherwise (though written as they are by some masters of horror and thrillers, they're firing on all cylinders)." —Editor Kat J.
