Intriguing story brought to life

This was a very interesting thriller vividly brought to life by the reader. Highly recommend and short enough to get through quickly!

Great stories, wonderfully read!

Both of these stories were so engaging, especially since they were read by an excellent reader who perfectly captured the tone of the book!

Unexpected!

Worth the money! Both stories are great but I love Tony the character in the second story, totally unexpected ending and it is hard to surprise me. Loved it!

I Preferred the Bonus

While I did not like the first short story as much as the second I felt the first it was a bit too "on the nose" for my liking but once you get past that part of "extreme guilt" the horror elements toward the end were good. I much preferred the bonus story while not really a horror story it had a much more suspenseful / thriller ending. When it came to the voice performance it was good and very easily understandable for me.
