just ok

Revisado: 09-04-24

The good: the narrator saved to the story. There is plenty of descriptive gore, Aron is good at gross-outs.

The bad: The rest of the story was slow and kind of boring. Some parts listened like filler to fluff an already short story. There are a couple chapters toward the end that are standalone & have nothing to do with the rest of the book. No new title, epilogue announcement; just new characters and a scene change. Then it jumps back to the story for a rushed ending. Between the editors, author and proofreader, somebody needs to do a better job.

Conclusion: I've read better short stories. Gore-wise, there isn't much to complain about. Story-wise, just ok. The author should stick to short stories and anthologies. The Slob probably would've stood out in a horror anthology, but it's lackluster on it's own.

Overhyped

Revisado: 07-23-24

This story was kind of boring, to be honest. The "horror" was creepy for maybe 2 minutes but the rest is just socially shocking. There was too much scene setting, not enough scene action. it's pretty much 5 hours of "this river feels eerie. I hate my sister. Who's the RiverMan?"

Lacking something

Revisado: 05-31-24

The story sounds like an episode of an OK scifi TV show. It has a good plot and setting but the execution is flat. There is more dialog than action, and the narrator is just reading, not bringing the story to life.

Needs a less whiny main character

Revisado: 08-09-23

The story was a fun ride, but the main character kind of ruined the story for me. I get the shock of the job but there was no character development or growth, dude just whined the whole time, then whined about how much he whined. The side characters really saved the story. The narrator kept the energy lively but the MC got annoying to listen to about halfway through.

Complete waste of time and money

Revisado: 04-14-23

Do not waste your time with this anthology reject. Boring, not scary at all. The plot is an email exchange. It's hard to truly rate the performance for a story so dull.

It was ok

Revisado: 12-01-22

It wasn't a terrible book but it wasn't good either. It read like "I don't know what to write about so I'll write about a struggling author."

Boring

Revisado: 10-21-22

The stories were alright at best, more stylistically horror than actually scary. Maybe 3 stories were actually creepy, the rest were wasted potential. A model with someone else's arms walks naked into the woods, the end. One spent 40 minutes describing a diner, the only "horror" ended up being the narrator leaving her kid at a rest stop. Boring.

Eh

Revisado: 07-29-22

To say the stories were boring is harsh but they weren't exactly interesting either. There were some good ones but for the most part...eh.

Such an epic tale!

Revisado: 07-14-22

The narration was powerful, brought the characters to life and was simply spectacular. The story was deep and moving, a series you HAVE to finish once you start. I cannot wait for the TV series.
