The reader is trying too hard

The stories are pretty good. I was surprised usually anthologies are not the best places to find horror, literature, especially given that I’ve never heard of any of these authors before. The reader tried really hard to make it fun but in the end it just sounds fake. It also doesn’t help that the voice actor only has three or four different voices to choose from and with only short breaks between stories. It feels like one continuous story that makes zero sense and keeps jumping around. I would recommend the physical book, but probably not the best choice to be an audiobook.

The dialogue was stunted and wooden, unnatural and fake. The characters are infuriating stereotypes or milquetoast boring. The narration/performance rises above the content. I got this book for free and I want a refund of the last two hours of my life.

Abridged version- missing too much from the book

This version was abridged and left out multiple key chapters and scenes. I used a credit for it and still felt like I only got a quarter of a book.

If you’re a fan of Christopher Moore’s other works, this will fit perfectly in your collection.

The audiobook performer is alright, but doesn’t have a lot of variety in their voice (lily and Ray often sound like the same character).

And the music interludes between chapters were very annoying.
