About this listen
This collection of ten tales of horror involves monsters, mayhem, and murder: everything from war to everyday homicide, to otherworldly terrors from hell dimensions. The horror may be internal or external, in your heart or in your cellar. Here are people making bad choices, and people reacting to terrible situations. These are stories to make you think, tremble, and and shiver with fright - and lock your doors at night - even though it may not do any good...
The author had Stephen King as a writing teacher, and some of these stories have been previously published in notable horror venues.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 56,165
Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made 28 years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children.

In 1961, the small town of Haven thought they'd gotten rid of their monster. After a series of child killings, Paul Greymore was caught carrying a wounded girl. His face, disfigured from a childhood accident, seemed to confirm he was the monster the community hoped to banish. With Paul in prison, the killings stopped. For 17 years, Haven was peaceful again. But Paul served his time and has now returned to Haven - the town where he grew up, and the scene of his alleged crimes.

This is the way the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen.

Ben McKelvie believes he's moving up in the world when he and his fiancée buy a house in the cushy Washington, DC, suburb of Barcroft.

Robert Jackson Bennett makes a stunning debut with this deliciously dark tale sure to hold readers in its menacing thrall. The grinding poverty brought on by the Great Depression is nowhere more apparent than in the untold thousands looking for work along America’s railroad system. But one man haunting the rail camps has been moved by an entirely different brand of desperation: revenge.

Clever stories with skillful narration
What did you love best about Halls of Horror?
Intriguing stories with twists and turns. They are not blood-and-guts horror stories, but more psychological -- some disturbing, some eery, some paranormal. All kept my interest.
Have you listened to any of Fred Wolinsky’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
He is a very versatile and skillful narrator. His characters are all unique with a real personality. His narration is well paced and brings out the emotion of the story. Each story is presented with a different style.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not needed, since they are 10 different stories. I did want to hear each story to the end before stopping.
Any additional comments?
These stories cover a wide range of styles and keep your interest. They are not the typical horror stories -- they make you think. They are reminiscent of the old "Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" stories. The narrator is very skilled and versatile. He gives each story a unique "voice" and really brings the characters to life, each with their own personality.
