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.

I loved literally every story in this collection except one, and I did not hate it entirely. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this to horror readers/listeners everywhere.

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.

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.

My only complaint is that the reader's male voices all sounded the same. Other than that, she was fabulous. Loved it.

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.

I have never jump scared as many times as I was while listening to this novel. It is the most disturbing thing he's written in ages, horror or not.

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.
