This is a collection of chilling horror stories. I would venture to call it a sampler of this author. In the first story a young unattractive man suddenly finds himself attracting the attention of a pretty girl. But where are the voices he hears coming from and what do they want? In the second A man and women argue with the result of his past coming to haunt him. The third story a wife murders her abusive husband. Is that really what happened? The fourth story brings us a military man who is given the choice to die or just possibly die. The final story tells of a young man in the counselor's office telling a shocking story of abuse while from the door comes the sounds of terror and chaos. I enjoyed the stories in this book. They are short stories so the terror comes fast and hits hard. This is a good book for a camp out or those times when you want to read creepy stories out loud. Good choice for when you want a little horror but don't have a lot of time.… (meer)

The pace of the story was quick, however, it felt incredibly disjointed and it really didn't make any sense to me.

As far as the dog is concerned, I don't know what the point of it was. Was it her dead partner's conscious mind? Was it a figment of her imagination? What was it trying to remind her of? I just don't get it.

Unfortunately, this story didn't strike any chords with me and left me with more questions than it really should have.… (meer)
