Don’t start it at night.

Don’t start it at night. It’s scary! Scary and puts all sorts of visual ideas into your head. And while it’s fiction, it’s still awfully close for comfort.

That said, the only reason I put it down was because it was too scary for bedtime. Very clever.

Still House

This short story is unputdownable, keeps you on edge and guessing the whole time. The narration is very good, keeps the reader on edge.

Good but a little far fetched

Most people don’t get psychotic and hallucinations for the reasons the author implies. If you can suspend reality a bit , you can get to the illogical end.

Scary but not too much so

I don’t typically read scary stories, so I’m not sure how this was recommended for me, but I enjoyed it. Scary enough to creep me out while walking, but satisfying also. Don’t want to spoil the story, but it wasn’t frustrating & ridiculous for those of us who are analytical & logical.

Not my cuppa tea.

I like the characters. The couple is real. But I don’t like ghost stories and quit listening with an hour to go. Also it was scary. I like actual mystery. So if you are into witchcraft and ghosts, listen, if not keep looking.
