Publisher's Summary:

A chilling ghost story from the author of The Woman in Black, set in a crumbling English house...

The remoter parts of the English Fens are forlorn, lost, and damp even in the height of summer. At Iyot Lock, a large decaying house, two young cousins, Leonora and Edward, are parked for the summer with their aging spinster aunt and her cruel housekeeper. At first the unpleasantness and petty meanness appear simply spiteful, calculated to destroy Edward's equanimity. But when the spoiled Leonora is not given the birthday present of a specific dolly that she wants, affairs inexorably take a much darker turn with terrifying, life-destroying consequences for everyone.

Members Reviews:

Are you afraid of dolls? No? You will be now.

If you're afraid of dolls, this book will frighten the life out of you. I'm not, but I still found it chilling and atmospheric. It's a short feature, but well worth it for the quality of writing, suspenseful timing, and of course, the originality of the story and its characters. Highly recommended.

Classic spine-tingler!

Where does Dolly rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Middle. I like that it was short and suspenseful but I prefer longer stories.

What other book might you compare Dolly to and why?

Poe's tales of suspense. His stories are also tight and tense.

What three words best describe Cameron Stewarts voice?

Over the top (on the female voices)

If you could take any character from Dolly out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Lenora because she is the most complex and deliciously evil.

Publisher's Summary:

Maury has the power to pull dreams into the waking world, giving the dreams corporeal form. These dream-people range from seemingly human figures, to monstrous beasts compelled by the most primal urges. Once exposed to the real world, the dreams evolve, adapting to their surroundings. Maury is gathering dreams for display at Lucidity, the soon-to-open Museum of Dreams. From a boy named Kevin, he removes Mr. Freakshow, a nightmare feeding on the trauma of Kevin having recently witnessed his father's murder.

As Maury falls in love with a dream-woman named Joy, he realizes how wrong it is to enclose the dreams. During the Lucidity's Grand Opening, Mr. Freakshow escapes. To create a diversion, Mr. Freakshow frees the other dreams. The Nightmares, The Erotic Dreams, The Serenity Dreams - all of the dreams - invade the city.

Mr. Freakshow knows the rules that govern the dreams:

At first Maury seeks out Mr. Freakshow in order to stop him, only to realize there is only one way to accomplish this; he must find Kevin first, killing him before the nightmare has its way.

Kevin will do whatever it takes to be free of his nightmare, once and for all. Maury will do whatever it takes to protect the love of his life. Mr. Freakshow will do whatever it takes to realize his immortality. Will Kevin survive his nightmare?

So good

I listen to a lot audiobooks and this was the best one I've listen to since Dr. sleep by Stephen King you will enjoy it from beginning to end

Enjoyable

This was an entertaining story. A unique take on dreams. This story makes dreams of Freddy Kruger seem tame.

Reasonably Acceptable

What did you like best about The Nightmare Within? What did you like least?

The story itself was satisfactory. The premise is interesting--extracting dreams from their dreamers and giving them reality. Good buildup of tension ad suspense.

Would you be willing to try another book from Glen Krisch? Why or why not?

Not without a preview to see if he has cleared up his problems with correct usage of words.

Which character as performed by Troy Duran was your favorite?

N/A

Do you think The Nightmare Within needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, the story is complete, and the characters have finished their story arc.

Any additional comments?

My only beef was that Krish has a serious problem with language. He frequently uses words incorrectly. For example, "entail" for "recount." as in, "He entailed the events he had just experienced."

Or "His hands scrambled up the wall." Hands can't scramble. A person can scramble.

Or "Feelings bandied about in his mind."

Lots of things like that where the word doesn't quite fit. Straining a little too hard for colorful and interesting language.

True unique horror

My full The Nightmare Within review can be found at AudiobookReviewer dot com

What a story! Growing up I had been plagued by bad dreams and the bogyman and was very happy that they were not real. I am not sure what I would have done if the people and creatures of my dreams could become real. That's what happened here, they were extracted and collected in to live in a real museum, categorized by their type; nightmares, erotic, ect. Gruesome and suspenseful at times, without the porn show that many horrors can become, and at others seemed long winded. However Krisch was able to create a unique horror story the likes of which I have never heard before.

Great, freaky story

This was a very good but freaky short story. Very enjoyable and well written, definitely worth reading and listening too. I highly recommend it. Waters does a great job bringing the character to life and making them spooky.

Members Reviews:

Wow AWESOME. Scary Suspensful & just plain fun

I did not see this one coming! I love horror books and this one was a pleasant surprise. The characters are believable, have allot of depth, tied together beautifully and you catch yourself rooting for the underdog! The story revolves around a boy & his family whose mother was murdered while clearing brush on their house site. "Kip" saw the whole thing but is in therapy for repressed memories. It is five years later & his bully big brother Marty picks on him relentlessly and his attorney father never seems to have as much time for him as he wants despite being a great dad. They live on old native american land and the local kids, including Marty & his buddy Al go to the old "indian caves" to "party". People start to disappear & the kids believe it is the spooky old drunken indian who is the killer. There are dark demonic "little brothers" aka demons afoot. Kip & the old indian are the towns only hope.

The story moves along at a great pace. Just enough horror, suspense and good story telling to keep you riveted. The author does seem to be a little obsessed with people hocking up gross mucous..........seriously it's pretty gross..............but other than that I have absolutely NO complaints. There are even short stories at the end that go along with the book and further show the Untcigahunk for the vicious scary little demons that they are. Great narrator as well. I wish there were more stories available from this author!!

GET IT you won't be disappointed.

Interesting Enough

Would you listen to Untcigahunk again? Why?

If there was nothing else to listen to, I would. It was a good story the first time around, but not good enough for me to listen to again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Untcigahunk?

When Kip stopped being the victim and stood up to his older brother. I mean really!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't turn off the Lights!!!

Any additional comments?

Very interesting idea for this book.

Title: Engines of Desire

Subtitle: Tales of Love & Other Horrors

Author: Livia Llewellyn

Narrator: Christy Lynn

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-30-13

Publisher: Lethe Press

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Death and pleasure. Freud's Todestrieb, his statement that "libido has the task of making the destroying instinct innocuous, and it fulfils the task by diverting that instinct to a great extent outwards.... The instinct is then called the destructive instinct, the instinct for mastery, or the will to power." Few authors have spun stories of Thanatos and Eros as skillfully and powerfully as Livia Llewellyn. In his introduction to this volume, Laird Barron states, "Scant difference exists between exquisite pleasure and pain."

An orphan girl with a mind for anthracite falls into the hands of a cult worshipping an entombed god. In the Pacific Northwest, evergreens lull prepubescent girls into their trunks to serve as wombs. A suburban housewife troubled by her present encounters the sixteen year-old girl she ached to touch in her dreams. These ten stories promise to indulge a listener's sensibilities, their fears and desires.

Members Reviews:

Dark Stories, Not Awesome Narrator

Lewellyn's fiction is, as many have noted, a kind of nihilistic erotica where sex and the emptiness of death commingle in truly disturbing ways. Great stuff. Unfortunately, the narrator has a way of making all the dialogue sound either whiny or cartoonish, and the repetitive rhythm of the reading does no justice to the horror of the tales, instead making them seem perfunctory.

Couldn't finish it

I almost always finish my purchases but could not get through this one. The writing seemed amateur, like written by a freshman creative writing class. The second story was so bad, I kept skipping ahead. The sex scenes played like old seventies porn. And I did not care for the reader who sounded like the old late night TV ads for phone sex numbers. And her vocal fry was so bad, almost unlistenable. To women readers, please clean up your vocal fry before publishing an audio book. This is the second book I've experienced with this problem, the other one being The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.

Members Reviews:

Awesome sequel!

Would you consider the audio edition of Zomblog II to be better than the print version?

It was very entertaining, but I enjoy my reading more.

What did you like best about this story?

Meredith and her determination while being soft hearted.

What does Emily Dane bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

She puts a voice to the main character.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

In the Zombie Apocalypse, you do what you have to do.

Zomblog series is addictive.

Would you listen to Zomblog II again? Why?

I'd happily listen to this book again. It's a great story!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Meredith is my favorite of this book. She's strong, she's sassy, & she can kick some serious ass.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favorite scene is when Meredith is sitting in the old barn. I love the way the sunset and field is portrayed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Of course I wanted to listen to this book all in one sitting. I couldn't though. Life likes to distract me.

Any additional comments?

This would make a perfect present for any zombie fan.

Good Zombie Story

A blog-style book...interesting concept; good for some things, not so great for others.

Decent post-apocalyptic tale...as a fan of the genre, I've read/listened to almost every scenario; Zomblog does manage to present some new and way-sick ways people become more deadly than the zombies.

I would recommend it to folks who are into zombies and enjoy a little "girl power".

Title: Helter Skelter

Author: Bryan Cassiday

Narrator: Peter Husmann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-25-13

Publisher: Bryan Cassiday

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Fiction, Horror

Publisher's Summary:

Evildoers run riot across the sun-drenched Southern California landscape in Helter Skelter.

Zombies, vampires, and other wicked creatures wreak mayhem and carnage in these shocking horror short stories by Bryan Cassiday. Not all of these tales feature supernatural creatures. Some of the evil creatures are human - perhaps the most terrifying creature of all. These stories defy logic, yet they obey their own inexorable logic of fear.

Members Reviews:

Gets a bit better after the first story.

The first story, even though it had zombies, was pretty much a loss due to choppy writing. Zero flow.

Luckily later stories were written in a slightly more complex style, so they flowed a bit more easily. That said, it's still a simplistic read.

Lovers of short stories know a gem of a 'twist' can come out of nowhere! So I read the whole thing.

Alas, no gem this time. As readers' tastes vary, so may your mileage.

Short stories

Good quick read. Several short stories. It was an ok read. If you like zombie stories why not read it?

Sorta like Tales from the Crypt...not really "scary" though

The stories "almost" felt as though they were like a "Scary Stories to tell in the Dark" sort of story. They were obviously adult, but the subject matter felt juvenile and not written as well as Adult material would have. I would not recommend this book for children though!

With a little tweaking this book could be sort of like a Tales from the Crypt sort of novel. The stories really reminded me of that feeling, but just fell a little short. I really expected this book to be horror stories, and I didn't find them to be horror really.

It seemed like a thesaurus was used way too much. The writing was simple and for some stories there seemed to be random words that just felt out of place and in some cases I was baffled as to what they meant - I was reading it on a Kindle so I could look them up but it got very annoying to keep doing it so eventually I gave up. I also got very irritated with the overuse of peoples names. For example in one paragraph with 3 sentences the characters name would be used like 1-2 times in each sentence.

So, overall, the writing is a little weak. I felt like I was reading a fan's account of a few different horror movies meshed together. The writer (and the stories) definitely have potential, but I was interested in a good horror book, and these didn't really feel like horror to me.

Full review with a breakdown of each story can be found @ Shivers of Horror, my horror movie/book review blog (link in profile) this is only a small chunk of it.

Not a good read

Could of been better I mean it was ok I my words it s sucked dick it just was not a good book

Title: I Try Not to Drive Past Cemeteries

Members Reviews:

Small Town USA has a few ghost!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

You grow to like the characters and Brianna solves murders or why people have not passed on and still hanging around

What other book might you compare I Try Not to Drive Past Cemeteries to and why?

Carrots - Shelby Nichols Series - great characters.

Have you listened to any of Wendy Tremont Kings other performances before? How does this one compare?

Best Narrator, great with different voices.

If you could rename I Try Not to Drive Past Cemeteries, what would you call it?

I see dead people......

Took a bit to get into the story and narrator

This title includes two short stories - first one that sets up the "series" and a second ghost story, that takes place ten days later, which would be okay as part of a larger collection (of, say, a half dozen or more), but not really a lot of plot on its own. Obviously, one credit for two stories that last under two hours is a no-go proposition, but $5 a throw is still steep (I used promotional currency to purchase this book). A single title of six stories for $15, or one credit, would have been the way to market these. The narration seemed a bit slow at first, but I got used to Ms. King's style by the second story, and it's fairly clear she put a lot of effort into the job.

Publisher's Summary:

The sea is a lonely place, particularly when your ship was blown off course and disabled. William Hope Hodgson takes this scenario and adds the discovery of a derelict ship floating near you. Of course you would go investigate, wouldn't you? The captain and part of the crew - including the ship's doctor, who is telling the story - visit this enticing phantom. They find the ship inhabited by a living mold that had been lying dormant just waiting for its next meal.

Members Reviews:

Overpriced, but enjoyable

A more sickening than chilling tale. A group of sailors come across an abandoned ship covered in a strange growth. Soon, though, it becomes apparent that it's not so much abandoned as devoured.

Not much I can say here. There's no real character focus or major theme. Just a carnivorous ship.

Available as a free audio production from Tales to Terrify. I've got to say, confused as to how this is so high-priced, when it's such a short story.
