With each passing year, science, technology, and the march of time shine light into the craggy corners of the universe, making the fears of an earlier generation seem quaint.

Another win for this anthology series…

Another strong edition, edited wonderfully as per usual by Ellen Datlow. I am slowly making my way through all editions and encourage you to do the same.

Interesting and long mix of stories

I found more that I didn't really care for than those that interested me. None were scary. Several were unique. I did like that the stories were longer in length, although it made for a LONG audiobook. None stand out as really memorable or great.

always great!

Beautiful and creepy stories. The final story was my favorite, although I also def enjoyed the short piece by Machado.

John Langan’s story is worth the credit.

John Langan’s “Lost In The Dark” is awesome. Brave Ellen Datlow for having this story conclude the collection!

A mixed bag of spooky stories

Just like most collections of short stories, some are very good, and some are very not.
If you dont mind some inconsistency in quality and are able to make your way past the weak opening, this book has some gems that are definitely worth listening to.
