Death, Infection, the Devil...and Jed

By: Howard Carlyle

Narrated by: Paul Delaross

Four different stories of horror, all with deadly outcomes.

How would you handle a bullying coworker? Brian did it perfectly!

What if a deadly virus left you as the last man standing? What would you do?

Would you make a deal with the devil to get everything you wanted? Martin had the chance and took it, with horrific consequences.

How far would you go for your favorite dish of homemade soup? Jed went that one step further than normal.

Good and Creepy!!

Four very fast paced stories, narrated well! I went into these stories wanting something a little dark and different, which is exactly what I got. All of the stories were suspenseful and well plotted for short stories. I agree with another reviewer that this author is someone to keep an eye on, I believe he will do very well! If I had to pick a favorite of the four, I think I would say Death, the first story. It was about a guy who had a really bad boss. The second story was a unique take on an infection that spread like wildfire. The ending was pretty unique to the genre. The third story....well, I will just let you listen to that one;-) And the fourth reminds me of a true crime story I had heard about, but worse, much worse :-) Enjoy!

A Unique Mix of highly creative Horror Stories

I really loved the mix of stories in this book, each one was very different from the other. My favorite was the zombie story that started at the beginning of the plague and walks us all the way through to the end. This slow burn was super creepy, just love stories like that. His other stories were highly creative and you never quite knew where they would end. A couple of them actually surprised me and I'm pretty good at guessing the ending. This book was exactly what I was looking for, a great mix of scary tales. I'll also add that I thought the writer's style, kind of a casual conversational tone, made it feel like I was listening to the stories around a campfire. It's hard to explain, but this style hit me just right. I loved this book and I will get more works by this author.

The narrator was perfect, providing the right emotions and giving each character their own unique voice.

Fun Stories!

These stories do not have your typical ending! Great listen, worth the time and money!

Wow is an understatement!!

These four tales of misery are so full of scary gore and goodness!! It is an absolute must!

Good stories

I received this audio book for free in exchange for my honest review. The writing and narration on this collection of short stories is good, but the editing is absolutely awful. There are long periods of silence in between the chapters and at one point you can hear narration outtakes. The editor needs fired.
