Recently haunted by recurring dreams of her, he sets out to pick up a used VCR, and finds one at a local yard sale. However this is no ordinary VCR.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

There are things in the darkness, things much worse than the tracks and abandoned pieces of equipment that trip the children up and gash at their feet and legs, things that brush silently past them, touching their faces before disappearing again....

Story
FBI analyst Kassidy Bishop is assigned to the "'For You' Killer" task force after a series of sadistic murders bearing the same signature arise in different parts of the country. The homicides are both calculated and savage, occurring in different states, but bearing the same signature: the words "for you" scribbled at each crime scene. The case chills Kassidy, bringing back memories of her own encounter with a violent criminal five years earlier.

Infected...and Enjoying It!
Once again, I enjoyed Janine Pestel’s horror shorts immensely. Infected was great with Jason waking up to pain and realizing the person he had picked up at the bar the night before had bitten him! He then proceeds to have the worst day of his life. Harry was like an episode of the Twilight Zone with Harry being the only one who doesn’t realize what is going on. That is, until it is too late. The Servants, which I have listened to before was just as fun a listen as the first time. Madeline is spoiled, rich, and cheap. She also does not possess any loyalty to anyone. A combination that will not serve her in the end. Perhaps my favorite was The Visit. When her son suddenly appears by her bed in the middle of the night, she gets up to make him coffee. Little does she know the true reason for his visit.
All of these tales are enjoyable and together they make a diverting couple of hours. The only criticism I can offer is for Janine to flesh out her characters and plots a little more and make these stories more intricate and longer!
The narration by Lucie Starling was a good one and she added to the spine tingling nature of the stories themselves.

Decent short stories
Any additional comments?
For the most part, these are decent short stories. There was only one that I didn't care for. I liked the narrator's performance. I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Quick book, but fun!
This book went by way too quick. But I enjoyed most of the stories! It's hard to get invested though when the stories are so short, but the author did a good job of keep you hooked. Narrator was great too.

It's not Walking Dead, it's Twilight Zone
The cover art is a bit misleading.
If you don’t expect to be particularly thrilled or chilled you’ll enjoy these four short stories by Janine Restel. Any of them would fit into the original Twilight Zone series nicely.
The first two stories: “Infected,” and “Harry,” have a definite Richard Matheson feel to them. “The Servants,” has more of a Ray Bradbury vibe.
My favorite of the four is the final one, “The Visit,” which reminded me of early Stephen King. It’s a bit sentimental but in a good way.
Based on this selection I’m interested in reading more from Janine Pestel.
The narrator, Lucie Starling, did a good job with the different characters. I agree with other reviewers that the overall audio production was less professional and more semi-pro, which is to be expected with self-published works.
Overall I’d give the collection a B-.

4 very different, yet interesting stories!
I am pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed these tales. First story was my favorite. Interesting take on the genre. I received this audiobook for free for an honest review. But this I would recommend for any lover of horror stories.

Dead Things Mikey, Dead Things
This contains 4 short stories and all are quite different from one another. The first is more like your typical zombie story while the others are a stretch to be considered zombie stories. The last two stories were quite good and stood out enough that after listening to them I forgot about the first two. Doubled back and listened to the first two again and enjoyed them more the second time, especially the second story. All 4 stories were at the perfect length and I am glad that they were not longer. All in all I enjoyed these stories and look forward to more from the author.
My main issue with the audible book is that I didn’t really like the narrator. Her narration voice was fine but when she switched to her character voices I just didn’t feel like it fit the story. Some of the way she spoke the dialogue made it seem like bad B movie lines told by an actor who has no acting experience. I have listened to The Servants by another narrator and it completely changed the feeling of the story.

Interesting Collection
Any additional comments?
The audio quality was not great.
I liked three of the four stories in the collection. I felt that the last story, "The Visit", seemed to drag on. The second story, "Harry", also was a bit long winded but not nearly as bad.
Each story had an interesting premise and fit the descriptions. However, I did feel that they were a bit predictable. I would enjoy it if the author expanded on these ideas.
The cover art is misleading.
This was worth the time spent listening to it and I would recommend this collection, but only to people that enjoy short stories with a Twilight Zone feel.

Zombites!!!! Let these stories gnaw on your brain
Biggest problem was the audio itself. The stories are not your run of the mill Zed tales. Each one stands out, and provides a fresh perspective on the zombie genre.
The visit was a bit draggy, but it was still good. These stories make you think. I really liked the robo servant tale a lot. The only reaso this isn't 5 stars all around is because of the audio itself. I found that I wish the audiobook had more content, i.e. more stories, as the 2 hours practically flew by. I am a zombie fanatic, and really liked this book better than the majority or Romero films.
The first story made me glad that I am married and not messing around in the single world.
The second gave me a Memento vibe, what with the memory loss and all. The third story, well robo servants . . .what can go wrong? And the fourth, a bit talky, buy still good as gravy.
The price is right for these 4 shorts, and your mouth will be watering for more from th author by the time you are done . . . or maybe you will be craving human flesh!

Zombies. Zombies? Zombies!
The author will spin you zombie tales. They are not the zombie tales you are used to. They will stretch your imagination. They will present you with scenarios that will shock you in their glaring differences. They will entertain you.

Great quick read
Infected: and other short stories by Janine R. Pestel was a good read. This book consisted of "Infected", "Harry", "The Servants" and "The Visit". These were great stories of horror and the paranormal.
