Several great short stories by well known authors. Often dark, gruesome and twisty. Narrators all did a great job.

Few stories were good. Most of them gruesome. Other than Val Mcdermid, Jefrrey Deaver and Dennis Lehane, all authors were new to me.

AUDIOBOOK: I always find short stories rarely get high ratings. I was hoping that this would read like The NoSleep Podcast, but out of the anthology I only liked 1 or 2 stories and none have stuck with me.

DNF 68%. I thought I would have enjoyed a collection of short stories mostly because they are short and to the point. The problem with this is, some are good and some are very bad. The first couple started off strong but then it declined quickly. Really tried to just power through but couldn't do it.
