Story
These thirteen stories are our own lives, inside out. A boy's summer romance doesn't end in that good kind of heartbreak, but in blood. A girl on a fishing trip makes a friend in the woods, except then that friend follows her back to the city. A father hears a voice through his baby monitor that shouldn't be possible, but now he can't stop listening. From prison guards making unholy alliances to snake-oil men in the Old West doling out justice, these stories carve down into the body of the mind, into our most base fears and certainties, and there's no anesthetic.

I skipped the last two chapters. The stories were pretty good, actually, but the 50's Disney documentary voiced narrator ruined them all. Avoid titles read by Rich Miller.

Jake Hayes is missing. This much is certain. At first, his wife, Nina, thinks he is blowing off steam at a friend’s house after their heated fight the night before. But then a day goes by. Two days. Five. And Jake is still nowhere to be found. Lily Scott, Nina’s friend and coworker, thinks she may have been the last to see Jake before he went missing. After Lily confesses everything to her husband, Christian, the two decide that nobody can find out what happened leading up to Jake’s disappearance, especially not Nina.

Not What I Expected
Reviewed: 09-20-24
I disliked the narrators, but other than that, it took me by surprise. I read a lot of crime thrillers and suspense novels, so I had three different theories going and they all fell away by the end and I was like OH! WHAT?! It was refreshing not to see an ending coming.

Story
Everyone in Sleepy Hollow knows about the Horseman, but no one really believes in him. Not even Ben Van Brunt's grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Crane out of town. Brom says that's just legend, the village gossips talking. More than 30 years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play "Sleepy Hollow boys", reenacting the events Brom once lived through. But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods.

The best ghost story I've heard in a long time.
Reviewed: 08-28-24
I really did not think I would enjoy this book. I had never heard of the author, I was less than two paragraphs in and did not like the narrator, and I just did not have high expectations. Then, it quickly took off and wove itself into this incredible coming of age ghost story. It is ghostly and eerie and perfect. Highly recommend.

If you have ten hours before it even begins to get disturbing or interesting, this book is for you. It got kinda spooky around 60% of the way through the story.

Story
Simon Basset, the irresistible Duke of Hastings, has hatched a plan to keep himself free from the town's marriage-minded society mothers. He pretends to be engaged to the lovely Daphne Bridgerton. After all, it isn't as if the brooding rogue has any real plans to marry - though there is something about the alluring Miss Bridgerton that sets Simon's heart beating a bit faster. And as for Daphne, surely the clever debutante will attract some very worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable.

Story
Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall. In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense.

AWFUL narration
Reviewed: 05-01-24
This was one of the hardest listens I've started recently because of the absolute wrong narrator being selected to read it. It was hard to listen to anyway with some of the disgusting characters, but his over exaggerated drawl was ridiculous. They should have gotten Frank Muller for this one, too.

Story
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

Story
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a horrific accident when he was seven, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. When Charlie is seventeen, he meets a dog named Radar and her aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from that shed.

A Good Narrator is Important
Reviewed: 12-27-23
I have been looking forward to this story since the pre-release, and I imagine I might have loved it. I have nine hours left now, and I have only made it this far out of sheer will and determination. The reader completely ruins it. I liked his hobbit-like accents in the dungeons, but other than that, it has been awful.
One other complaint I have is that as much as I love Stephen King and I appreciate his effort to connect with younger readers, 21st century teens do not use the phrases "oh, poo" or "mondo." Every time he tries to put himself in Charlie's perspective, it sounds like a Boomer stuck in a kid's body who was born in 1996 and it's just kind of...sad.

I love this story and I love Tim Curry, but I'm not sure I would have picked him to do all the voices. That's my only complaint. Other than that, it's a great telling of this holiday classic. I look forward to it every year.
