Christina Delaine should cool it with the accents, yikes. James Anderson Foster was great. The cover for this audiobook shows the wrong authors for this collection (the book cover is correct)

Every story was forgettable and not scary- I liked volume 10 much more and even those were pretty mild.
Best story was the one about the horse man. It built so much suspense and had a truly terrifying creature. I just wished these stories started with more ferocity and added some timing & punch to their scary lines.

Really impressed with this collection, particularly the stories from Adam Nevill, Siobhan Carroll, Peter Straub, Gemma Files, C.E Ward, Livia Llewellyn, Rebecca Lloyd, Brian Evenson, and Ray Cluley.
Brian Hodge's excellent "On These Blackened Shores of Time" was the perfect endpiece.

Hit or miss
Several of the early stories were quite good and pulled me in but the last half of the stories seemed to be more miss than hit. Recommended but only marginally.

It’s a shame I picked this one as my first in the series as it was VERY Lovecraftian, which other reviews tell me is not the usual.
