About this listen
Do you dare to face the darkness?
Explore the dark world that exists just outside what you can see and thrives on the most terrible things you can imagine. Explore the unfathomable depths of darkness with four distinctly horrifying stories that delve the depths of madness and fear. Nighttime is when the darkness that is within each and every one of us escapes and envelops us in the perilous and inscrutable blackness.
Who can say for sure what lurks on the periphery of our consciousness? When seen again in the light of day, ordinary objects and ordinary parts of our lives are nothing more than what we know them to be. But come nightfall, who knows?
Follow a dreamer who takes flight and explores fantastic worlds in the dark. Like Icarus, he soars to uncharted heights without realizing the danger hidden in his own dreams.
Learn the secrets of a dark and deviant street vendor. In the light of day, he wouldn't merit a second glance but everything is different at night.
Uncover the mystery of a deadly and terrible childhood secret that still haunts a broken man. Perhaps he could have solace if the circumstances surrounding the death of his sister were somehow explainable.
See the terrible power of a buried ancient and bloody curse. Once uncovered, it is free to exact a terrible revenge.
All of this and more is trapped in this book of horror. Do you dare to face the darkness?

“Are you happy with your life?” Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the kidnapper knocks him unconscious. Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man he’s never met smiles down at him and says, “Welcome back, my friend.” In this world he’s woken up to, Jason’s life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife.

Story
On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive, cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova - a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than 30 years.

In a secret, subterranean world beneath the prairie of the Old West, a homesteader risks her life in search of a safe haven. A workman in Andrew Carnegie's steel mills is turned into a medical oddity by the brutal power of the furnaces. A young woman created through genetic manipulation is destroyed by the same force that gave her life. With her distinctive blend of magical realism, science, and poetic prose, Anjali Sachdeva demonstrates a preternatural ability to laser in on our fears, our hopes, and our longings in order to point out intrinsic truths about society and humanity.

Story
The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

Her life seems to start rebuilding itself, though, when she moves to a deserted island to restore the house her mysterious great-uncle built in the 1920s.

J. Scott Bennett is one of my favorite narrators, something with the tone of his voice. He does a great job with the narration of this story. Our genres don’t always align so I am always excited to find one that he has done that is in the horror genre.
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Audiobook narrator J. Scott Bennett rating: 4.5 stars
This is the follow up book to Slivers in the Dark. It is another collection of four short horror stories. These stories are varying in their disturbing-ness yet they are short and fun.
The stories in this book may have been a little more interesting than the ones in the first book. I really enjoyed the second story about the New York hot dog vendor. It was written so realistically that I could really see this actually happening (well, maybe not but maybe in a short film/horror world!).
I like how all of these stories end – meaning they end but don’t end (you’ll have to read the stories to understand what I am talking about).
Again, I really enjoyed the narrator. He has a great story telling voice and sets the tone correctly for this genre. Thanks for the free book, Scott!

The stories were way to simple & lacking development or substance to even come close to scaring me. However, this books stories are great for kids stories on a Halloween night!
I gave the book 3 stars for being a great stories for 9 - 12yrs of age & for a good narrator.
The narrator was good, clear and concise in his reading with no mistakes at all.
Yes, I recommend the narrator
No, I can't recommend the book
