All the Better to Read You With

Here you'll find unique twists on curses, from fairy tale classics to brand-new hexes of the modern world - expect new monsters and mythologies as well as twists on well-loved fables. Stories to shock and stories of warning, stories of monsters and stories of magic.

Don't listen while you're going to sleep

Loved the stories and the voices were right on. But I listened while I was trying to sleep and it brought about some strange nightmares!

Liked them all

Anthologies can sometimes be hit or miss depending on each story.
I enjoyed all the stories and narrators!

Not bad

Some stories were better than others, but that seems to be the way with anthologies. It was entertaining enough.

An enjoyable listen

My favorite was the Haza & Ghani story. It was an easy listen and I stayed interested. Otherwise, there were hits & misses scattered throughout the book. I did enjoy the performances so overall it was worth my time.

I really enjoyed the different stories.

I really enjoyed the different stories. I am not sure I completely understood a few of the endings and that’s just fine with me. I will definitely read the second book.
