Story
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

It's not safe for anyone alone in the woods. There are predators that come out at night: critters and coyotes, snakes and wolves. But the woman in the red jacket has no choice. Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago.

Opal is a lot of things—orphan, high school dropout, full-time cynic and part-time cashier—but above all, she's a determined to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets them out of Eden, Kentucky, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luck and E. Starling, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underland, who disappeared over a hundred years ago. All she left behind were dark rumors—and her home. Everyone agrees that it’s best to ignore the uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir, Arthur. Almost everyone, anyway.

American Book Award-winning author Tananarive Due's second collection of stories ranges from horror to science fiction to suspense. From the mysterious, magical town of Gracetown to the aftermath of a pandemic to the reaches of the far future, Due's stories all share a sense of dread and fear balanced with heart and hope. In some of these stories, the monster is racism itself; others address the monster within, or other universal struggles set against the supernatural or surreal. All of them are written with Due's trademark attention to detail and deep characterization.

A delightfully funny, fantastically inventive collection of twenty unearthed short stories by Sir Terry Pratchett, the award-winning and bestselling author and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld fantasy series. These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found—were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Not since the Crisis came, decimated the population, and sent those who survived fleeing into quarantine camps that serve as breeding grounds for death, destruction, and disease. She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago.

Don't listen while you're going to sleep
Loved the stories and the voices were right on. But I listened while I was trying to sleep and it brought about some strange nightmares!

Liked them all
Anthologies can sometimes be hit or miss depending on each story.
I enjoyed all the stories and narrators!

I really enjoyed the different stories.
I really enjoyed the different stories. I am not sure I completely understood a few of the endings and that’s just fine with me. I will definitely read the second book.

Sixty / Forty
I enjoyed about Sixty percent and skipped the other forty percent. The actors did good job. Some stories did not resonate with me.

Ok for collection
I found most of the short stories a little disappointing, maybe just because of the nature of short stories there’s not enough time to fully develop the idea

Enjoyable book
most of the stories were well narrated, I was able to submerge myself in the adventure of the story.

Refreshing take on myths
I loved listening to these stories and discovering the old myths woven into them. Some were quite easy to discover and others... well, I still wonder... which I LOVE!!

I love fairytales
Even the ones based on old folktales have something new to offer. A great collection to lose yourself in.

Not my favorite horror anthology but it was ok.
Im a hard core horror, suspense, dark fantasy, thriller, hard boiled crime, spine chilling adventure and dark sifi guy; I would not recommend this title for anyone who is well accustom to the more progressive and disturbing classic horror/macabre/Gothic and especially if your splatterpunk inclined! These stories are not of the Adam Neville,s, Andrew Van Wey, Robert Mccammon, Nick Cutter, Chuck Palahniuk or Windig; Caitlin R Kienan, Machacho, Koontz, John Langan or Stephen King. These are very light quik little stories that are interesting enough, I believe for the YA and those that like the more "G & PG" level or are new to the genre; this is a decent enough collection to pursue; Im trying to remain impartial; I really do not appreciate or respect customer reviews that are "flippant" "barbed" or even hostile at times! I truly am mift why someone needs to be so toxic just because they Didn't enjoy it or find it a waste of money- FOR THEM- But this will not be a truth for everyone; in fact- I read 70% of the literature that has been reviewed in a toxic, just spiteful manner- sometimes for no other reason than to attempt to see why the book was beat up with all the hyper-vigilance and dramatics. Those reviews show me a reader that is innately unhappy with most everything, has minimal maturity with even less integrity therefore making most all of those reviews and comments moot; at least for me anyway. I would be very dismayed if I knew that I discouraged someone from a product that could have been perfect for them- because it wasnt perfect for me. Narcissism knows no boundaries- so; this book is not my favorite cup of tea, but it was easy going down all the same! Cheers!
