"Are You Hungry, dear?" - down on his luck divorcee Jacob Miller, after consuming a free pizza, is possessed by an internal parasite.

"From the Sea" - a tale of an amateur sailor and his wife who are besieged by creatures that come from the sea during a storm.

"Neon Fortune Teller" - Madam Drabardi reads the future of paranoid businessman Ronald Murray who believes his wife is cheating on him, but infidelity is not all Drabardi sees.

A Little Too Graphic But True Horror Stories

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.If you love the genre and are not too squeamish, you'll definitely enjoy reading the stories in this collection. Warning! Not suitable for the faint at heart. I would only recommended it to friends who can take it...

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hobbsburg Horror?

I noticed that there was a lot of cannibalism included in some of the stories. Maybe not my favorite parts...

Which character – as performed by Craig Beck – was your favorite?

I did like Madam Drabardi and that particular tale

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I had to pace myself and get some of the scenes to... settle.

Any additional comments?

I feel that some of the stories were cut a little too short. They could have benefited from lengthier narrative.

A nice collection of horror thrillers

I like starting books knowing as little as possible about them. Sometimes even reading the description is too much because I like to be surprised. This collection of stories was just that - a nice surprise. Some were short, others were quite long, but all were read by the delightful narrator Craig Beck who has a great voice. British accent and creepy in just the right places.

Some stories hinted at more horrific content, but I found all thrilling for certain, and above all, I judge a book's quality by its ability to make me want to hurry back to it quickly. This one certainly did that. I couldn't wait to hit the play button again

I was provided a copy of this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review, and I look forward to other books by this author and narrator. Thomas Flowers is a favorite of mine now.

Horror shorts that don't dissapoint

A loose collection of short stories that have a common thread linking them together. The author takes you to Texas which has been the transformed into a home for horror. Stories were good entertaining some more creepy some left your skin crawling somewhere gross all we're good. I do add the caveat that some of the stories are in appropriate for younger listeners due to the sexual content. Other than that enjoy. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

good horror

I am not usually squeamish or scared but the stories here well what can i say other than hang on because they are not your usual horror stories.
The one that i remember the most was about the sea (i saw that coming) before it happened.
And the one about the pizza, now that was disgusting..horror comes in all forms.
I received this free for an honest review from the author or narrator.

Dark Thrillers

I enjoyed some of the stories in this collection of short to very short dark thriller/horror. (Fortune Teller, Are you Hungry and Hobbsburg Horror to name 3 of them). Narration was good. Recommend if you like short horror but highly recommend the author’s book Feast. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank You!
