Boring

Listen to the whole thing and found it rather bland and uninteresting. I feel like I didn't really understand the point of most of the stories and they left me with questions.

One of the best

I had read this book and others by Etchison a long time. As with a number of old favorites it tales a new even more enjoyable significance when read well.

Totally worth the listen.

My only complaint is the overly long intro, another scary story could have been included.

Bait and switch author tag.

The stories were alright, but honestly, why is Ramsey Campbell tagged as the author of this book? It's misleading and need to be refiled under the the true author's name.

So boring

I feel bad not giving it it’s full chance by not listening to the entire 7h but one hour in and I had to remove from library. Not gripping, at all, poorly read, and just plain dull, there’s so much better on audible. Just my opinion but I’d keep searching if I were you :/
