Haima

By: M.J. Pack

Narrated by: Jacob York

A day after unprotected sex with her boyfriend, a woman wakes up to find her pillowcase soaked in blood, the smell of old pennies drifting from her upper lip. After a week, the nosebleeds stop. Then it comes from her ears. And throat. And the doctors don't believe that she's bleeding at all. But what about the garbage can filled with bloody tissues? "Haima" is a short horror story that appears in M.J. Pack's collection Certain Dark Things, also available on Audible.com.©2015 The Thought & Expression Co. (P)2016 Audible, Inc.

Warped but good

I really like her warped style of writing. although I has never heard of her I am glad I discovered these short stories. Good simple (and perhaps a bit warped) writing!

A lot about nothing

The story is... A non-story? There's a lot of rambling and nothing is going on, and the psychological tension just isn't enough to make it work. You're supposed to feel for the woman, or maybe it's supposed to be ambiguous whether she's ill or pregnant, or maybe it's supposed to be a twist she's not really bleeding (although it's in the description)... Maybe, maybe, maybe, nothing. Maybe would've worked better with a female voice (no offense to Jacob York here, great reader, love it)

interesting

Being in the medical field I am familiar with pseudocyesis. I really think the author could have done more with this but this snipper was still ok.

Fluff but no Filler

This story has a lot of fluff but doesn't actually make much since when you listen to it.

Incomplete story

It ended before it even began and they never explained anything so I cannot recommend this book
