A collection of three horror stories inspired from actual events experienced by the author. Oh, my!
the setup…
Never Kill the Medium (narrated by Abigail Reno)
It’s Erica’s 30th birthday and she hosts a dinner party at her apartment. Guests include boyfriend Jake and three other friends. One surprises her by inviting a medium to lead a séance but the surprise is on them when he dies before closing the door to the “other side.” Uh, oh.
The Nightmare House (narrated by Kathleen Early, Emily Marso & Katy Bentz)
Kristin and Patrick Dalton quickly uproot their family, sixteen-year old daughter Hailey and newborn son Henry, moving from Chicago to rural Tillington, Wisconsin. They bought the house sight unseen except online and it’s in the middle of nowhere. They arrive to encounter unfriendly neighbors, strange voices and a house with a terrible past…every family who previously lived there has died or disappeared. Uh, oh.
All Curses Are Final (narrated by Brittany Pressley)
Five college friends decide to take one final trip together before their last semester, sort of a last hurrah as one of them has broken up with another. Blair can feel their resentment about her walking away from Jake, the ride to Northspyre, Minnesota awkward. Before they reach their cabin, they make a stop at a gas station. Blair notices a weird sign that says, “All Items Cursed, Curse Lifted at Time of Sale.” Later that evening, she finds a pen from the store in her purse and immediately wants to go back and pay for it. The group talks her out of it. Uh, oh.
the narration…
All of the narrators made these stories lift off the page, their performances intensifying as each progressed. They made the experience even creepier! Outstanding on every level.
the bottom line…
Horror is out of my comfort zone but I connected immediately to all three and couldn’t stop listening. Some are more ghastly than others but all felt like they could actually happen. Yikes! Be sure to listen to the author’s acknowledgements because it matters. Great collection!
