Just get Boehmer to read ALL!!

This narrator really killed the experience for me as others have mentioned. I honestly thought they were perhaps being harsh and I give every narrator a fair chance. But Dufris needs to learn subtlety, his character voices are so annoying and over the top it ruins the book. I appreciate that he's giving the narration some effort but he's got to let the book tell the story not his terrible impressions and hyperbolic 'baddies' with irreverent voices. Just overall, can't recommend based solely on the narrator.

Not the best, not the worst

I’m generally not a fan of anthologies. Some of the stories were excruciatingly boring, but I liked most of them. Same with the narrator. He’s not even close to the worst, but far from the best. The worst criticism I can give Is that he only actually has two voices... “Overly annunciated old man” and “Eeyore”. Both of them detract more from the story than they add to it.

Save your money and buy the book and read it

Narration was like nails on a chalkboard board but i refused to waste money. Pronunciations 🤮 save your money a few of the stories are excellent do you self a favor and read them

I’m not sure

Honestly I don’t know how to review this I love these books and these stories but the way Dufris is reading this book has made it impossible for me to even understand mentally what I’m hearing, he’s reading this as if it were theatrics, I can almost visualize him standing there holding the book open in one hand and a human skull held in the other. He’d be perfect for reading short poems by Poe or some other overly dramatic writer telling dark tales.

Twice I’ve found myself completely spacing out on the book just because of the guy reading, I can’t even say I recall any of the story and it makes me review kind of shaky for me, I don’t want to give the story a bad review or a good one because I can’t remember it, I don’t want to give the overall good or bad because of the same issue with the story but I also don’t want to go to high in rating there because the performance was horrid.

TL;DR I’d say buy and read this book yourself skip the audible. Ax Norman would have been preferable to William Dufris.

Read the book description...

If I would of known it was a collection of short stories I would not have bought it. My mistake I will read the description next time. I’m going to try to get audible to refund my credit for this book. It’s just not my style of book.
