Intriguing stories read by compelling narrators

I find myself gravitating towards specific authors and even specific narrators. So, I buying anthologies to experience different narrators and authors.

Anthologies are always hard because there will be stories I don't like and narrators whose voice just don't sound right to me.

This is the first anthology that I've listened to that I've liked most of the authors and narrators.

An incredible collection of amazing stories!

Each short story in this collection is expertly written and performed by the best in the business.
I've listened to it several times and it's always amazing.

Great stories. loved the exposure to new authors

a couple standout favorites for sure and only one I skipped without finishing. all in all, very good.

Some guy that likes audiobooks

This book has a combination a great Authors and Narrators, but some of the stories didn't catch my interest. If at all possible, I would definitely like to see complete books on the first story and "A Twist of Fate". There were a couple other stories that I was interested in but those 2 were my top picks out of the book.

it was decent

The stories were pretty good once I warmed up to them I only had the problem that I was longing to get back to another book that may have brought my appreciation down a slight amount but the fact that the stories eventually captivated my interest speaks volumes to the fact that I did want to get back to my other book and I was still able to be interested
