Great creepy anthology

Every one of the stories in this anthology was very creative.
Each of the stories had a great twist, and they were not repetitive. It wasn’t the same idea over and over with different names in settings. I would read anything this author wrote.

didn't skip a single story!

these are so good! remind me of short Goosebumps books! be sure to download the other by Allen. idk how these is a free download!

I left a different story. They were very peculiar awesome book.

I love I. I really love all the stories especially the one with the shadow that was pretty cool. That was an awesome freaking. I would actually like to hear that of them just book 100%.

Fun Listen

Stories were cute and fun. Perfect listen for relaxing day or while cleaning house.

Spot on!

Anthologies are usually so hit and miss, but this one is mostly hits. It was so pleasantly surprising. I have a cat and particularly loved Nine Lives. Hope those cats and that little girl live happily ever after. LOL When Daunte Vanished is also really good even though the ending wasn't as hopeful. I have to mention Sorry, Froggy too, as it was my favorite. As a huge animal lover, I adored this story and the girl in it and the very, very fitting end to the story. So good. Could not have been better.

The ones I did not like so much ended really badly or didn't end at all. For instance, Staring Contest did not leave me knowing wth happened or why. And Crossing ends so completely terrible that I had to put it down for a while after that. However, it was still mostly good over the bad. I have already read some of Josh Allen's stuff.
