About this listen

The latest Mystery Writers of America story collection, featuring terrifying tales of encounters with strangers from some of the top bestsellers and award winners in crime fiction

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water.

No matter how or where they appear, strangers are walking mysteries, complete unknowns in once-familiar territories who disrupt our lives with unease and wonder. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers such as Michael Connelly, Dean Koontz and Joe Hill.

I enjoy these books from the Mystery Writers of America. This book, along with Deadly Anniversaries, include some great authors. Almost all of the stories are worth reading with a few being exceptional. The Joe Lansdale and Joe Hill entries are standouts I'm When A Stranger Comes To Town. The narration is also mostly good with only one narrator being just too slow to enjoy. I'm looking forward to more books in this series.

We read (finished) all but the first story. Surprised endings in most. We couldn't guess how many of the stories would end. Worth the credit.

Different but Good

There's a couple duds in here, a few gems, and the rest are pretty enjoyable. It was a great listen overall.

Some real gems in this one!

Any compilation will have high and low spots and individual tastes may very, but I fond some of the content well done while others were either predictable or tedious. overall worth while. I liked 80% and wasn't a fan of the UFO story or the predictability of the dead twins story. Perhaps I'm spoiled by my excess of Stephen King novels?

Overall a good compilation at times predictable.

Most of the stories were poor, and not particularly interesting or exciting. A couple of them were excellent, but not enough to recommend this collection. Very good narration by all.

Only a couple good stories in here
