Narrated by Jacob York, this collection of the macabre kept me both entertained and even a tad bit spooked. I have to admit though, many are just simple beginnings and not really even a short story. They're odd and offish, but the good ones are so, so good.

The ones I truly enjoyed were engrossing, and wicked! These favorites were Women Seeking Men, The Skinstealer, BubbleHead Road, The Nightmare Club and the one about the roaches- best listen! There are 22 chapters but the best were those five. I liked them because they were complete, clever and very, very devious.

What was most upsetting about the book were the bulk of intro stories. Though true to the title, there were dark, but brief tellings that left me a bit empty. It's like they were placed to peak interest just to fizzle out, and none with the magnitude of the five previously mentioned stories.
