Story
While attempting to abduct a teenager from her home, sadistic serial killer Victor Brooks meets his match: ten 9mm bullets. In a puddle of his own blood, sprawled across a stranger’s kitchen floor, Victor’s life begins to flash before his very eyes. He sees the living and the dead, peace and carnage, friends and foes, success and disappointment, love and hatred. He sees a life defined by rage, suffering, and despair. The light at the end of Victor's tunnel is red—red with blood. Jon Athan, the author of "The Groomer" and "Are Your Parents Home?

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is a novel made up of stories: 23 of them, to be precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter, sometimes all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad headlined "Writers' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months", and who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them.

29 amazing authors and 29 Amazing short horror stories, all based on creepy clowns! These stories are super spooky and intense! Some more horrifying than others, but they are all fantastic! I’m a sucker for great clown stories and scares!
A few stand outs for me are:
-Mr. Tasty Crinkle by Craig E.Sawyer
-Pop by Jonathan Lees
-Giggles in the Glitch by Dex Bryant
-Grease Paint and Monkey Brains by Duncan Ralston
-No one wants to go to Happy Land by Douglas Ford
-The Grim Chameleon Apparatus by Michael A. Reed
-Ordinary People by Rachel Harrison
-The Last Laugh by Graham Masterton & Karolina Mogielska
The narrator’s did a very good job also!
This book is out now, just in time for spooky October! 🤡

As with all anthologies, there are some stories that are pretty good, a few that are really good and a handful that are the type to stick with you for a long, long time! Full of plenty of truly creepy clowns, there is also a lot of emotion ("A Very Special Boy" and "Bobo") that will have you grabbing a few tissues. Some of the tales touch on mental illness (maybe?) and a lot feature revenge. Then, you have the truly horrific ones (including one that will gross you out, so heed the trigger warning!).
If you have a fear of clowns (or just enjoy reading horror stories with clowns), this is a great collection. It is also a good way to see if an author's style of writing is for you, since the Editor has included a short bio of each author which list some of their other works. The narrators do a great job, especially Jason Vu. His performance really brought the horror to life and was absolutely fantastic!
Thanks to said Editor for giving me the chance to read and listen to this truly horrific collection!
Coulrophobia!

However, my experience with the narration was a bit mixed. The male narrator brings a strong, captivating presence that pulls you into each story, keeping the suspense alive and the chills running down your spine. On the other hand, the female narrator left me somewhat disconnected. Her voice had an odd, AI-like quality to it, which made it harder to stay immersed in the more intense moments of the stories. It lacked the depth and emotional nuance that you’d hope for in a horror anthology.
While I did enjoy the majority of the book, the inconsistent narration makes it just a 3-star listen for me. If you’re okay with some robotic tones, then give it a shot—but be ready for a few moments where the fear fades away due to a flat delivery.
Good Stories, Mixed Narration

There were a few misses. There were some stories that I really didn't care for. But there were also some stories that I absolutely loved! Graham Masterton's The Last Laugh honestly freaked me out a little bit.
You also have the likes of Duncan Ralston and Aron Beauregard who wrote just amazing stories. But I think my favorite was Adam Cesare's story about an author trying to stay relevant.
Overall this was a fun read, and Jason Vu preformed more than read this, and that drew me in!
Great job overall!
