Hey y'all, watch this!
The reason I gave the book four stars is because the stories varied in quality. But for the most part, this book is a pleasure to listen to. From what I recall, most of these stories were just humorous. I can't particularly remember any scary ones, but it's been over a month since I listened to it. But it's definitely worth buying! I was sorry when it ended.
Quick, somebody get me a banjo!

This one that has been staring me down from by bookshelf for waaay too long. Its about dang time I done got to it.
Turns out Scary Rednecks is a pretty good and appropriately inappropriate collection of backwood inspired shorts. There are little devils in the outhouse, catfish Gods, Snake bit dicks, UFOs, bad juju and badder voodoo. A little bit of everything that goes with redneck horror and even a little bloodsucker moonshine to wash it all down. Comedy, horror, gore and more.
As with most collections there were a few I liked better than others, but for the most part these tales were enjoyable with only one or two that were a bit uneven for me. 3.5+ Stars.
Lacks rednecks, scares, or horrors
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The performance was adequate; the material was disappointing.
What do you think your next listen will be?
If I can get me some Bubba the Monster Hunter, it would take care of this itch.
Have you listened to any of Arnie Mazers other performances before? How does this one compare?
Nope, but his performance in this book was fine.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment implies that I had expectations to begin with. Anger implies that the content was upsetting enough to offend me intellectually. Sadness implies that I spent my money poorly. So, yes, sadness.
Any additional comments?
I would have asked to return this book, but I was in a traffic jam for two hours, and kept jumping back and forth to try to find something to listen to. Unsuccessfully. So I consider it unethical to ask for the money back.
Now, I love me some redneck monsters and redneck monster hunters, and I was hoping to get a little more of that stuff. So I feel cheated on several fronts. Firstly, I dont really consider these characters Bubbas, okay? I mean, theyre guys who drink beer, but I couldnt find anything else to associate them with, yknow, rednecks. And yes, rednecks can be homophobes and maybe I can handle that in a story (and maybe I cant) but most stories after the first are jokes literally based on homophobia.
Wait - give me a second here. The source of humor is about the buddies freaking out about potentially being gay. There are several scenarios, each one set up to say, If I did action X, would it make me gay? and hilarity ensues. Not.
