Stories that will keep your attention

Truly enjoyed these short stories. Although, I would've liked to see some things explained, like who the old lady in the white house was. But, it still turned out well.

Wonderful collection!

The stories were entertaining and unique. That ending to the last story though is fantastic, absolutely did not see that coming and I LOVED it.

Love short stories

This collection kept my interest and I also enjoyed the sense of humor included. This would also be good for a teen listener.

Modern horror for a modern age

Definitely recommend this, if you like, the twilight zone, or night gallery, especially if you liked nightmares and dreamscapes by Stephen King,
Or even Guillermo Del Toro ‘s “ cabinet of curiosities” the last story is going to get you, sure you read the whole thing is very strange.

Clearly EARLY work...

I'll admit that Ibsen isnt my favorite author, but Ive enjoyed his other works.

This... wow.

The plots themselves are solid- the real kernel of ideas are great.

But the reason I call this obviously early work (perhaps even former Creepypasta submissions?) is due to the thesaurus vomit jarring me out of the stories at every turn. These stories are told in first person, but the language used would be more at home in a period piece, not one about two 20 something guys who eat pizza and watch movies.

Wish i hadnt wasted a credit, honestly.
