Jason Blum
Original and terrifying fiction presented by Jason Blum, the award-winning producer behind the groundbreaking Paranormal Activity, The Purge, Insidious, and Sinister franchises.
Jason Blum invited 16 cutting-edge collaborators, filmmakers, and writers to envision a city of their choosing, and let their demons run wild. The Blumhouse Book of Nightmares: The Haunted City brings together all-new, boundary-breaking stories from such artists as Ethan Hawke (Boyhood), Eli Roth (Hostel), Scott Derrickson (Sinister), C. Robert Cargill (Sinister), James DeMonaco (The Purge), and many others.

Critic reviews
“Jason Blum has done it again with this collection of startlingly imaginative and remarkably potent tales. Anyone who loves a brilliant story—scary or otherwise—should read this book.”—Ryan Murphy, co-creator of American Horror Story
"Like the best horror movies, these stories begin in the real world, then slyly move you to a darker place, a nightmare world just beyond our reality. I enjoyed my visit to The Haunted City--but I am still shivering."--R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street
“I found myself double checking that my door was locked. This anthology is a compelling reminder that it does not take anything but a good story to terrify.”—M. Night Shyamalan, writer and director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable

Ok

there was a lot of filthy language, mundane occurrences. I made myself listen to it all hoping to listen to one redeeming story...not one. Good for bedtime snoozer.
not scary

Story 1: every young-couple-moves-in-to-a-haunted-house story rolled into one, complete with creepy kid, evil creepy foreigners, a spooky doll, etc. Badly written and, bluntly, offensive in its treatment of anyone not white American. Really leans in to the racist "Roma (although that's not the term they use) are creepy magical evil devil worshippers" trope.
Story: entitled rich guy whines a lot and dreams of living in the summer all year long, goes to Chile to hit on women 20 years younger than himself and bad stuff happens. More trope-y "fear of the exotic foreigner" themes.
and so on and so forth. The narration isn't terrible, but it's not not great and definitely not enough to make up for bad writing, bad story design, and trope-laden, outdated, boring concepts.
Bad writing, boring characters, and xenophobia

Not worth the credit.
What a waste.
Snore...boring
