Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Johnnie Rico never really intended to join up—and definitely not the infantry. But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Mastery at its best
I’ve often said that the author who can write a successful short story consistently, is an author who has mastered their art. This selection as the others is a showcase of that mastery. So well written and the timing is perfectly set for maximum effect. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Fantastic shorts!
This might be my favorite so far in the collection of short stories. The first story is about a bet to enter a haunted house and stay for at least a half hour, doesn’t seem hard if you don’t believe in ghosts, right?
The second story is about someone struggling to tell dreams from reality, one should always trust their gut, don’t you think?
The third is a story of ‘the beast within’ and how far one might go for love.
The fourth (first in vol. 10) story finds us with a painting bought second hand with a hidden note that tells a dark history of the painting. The man does not heed the warning in the note and that might be his greatest mistake.
The fifth (second in vol. 10) story introduces us to a photographer enthralled with capturing the image of spirits on her film, it seems not all appreciate the attention though.
The sixth (third in vol. 10) story finds us in a secluded cabin struggling to come up with ideas for a painting, but behold the power of your dreams!
I hope some day Ron Ripley expands ‘Pictures on the Wall’ because I think he could have done a fantastic novel with it in addition to this short story. Over all.... 10/10 would definitely recommend. Great collection. I like that there is a mixture of the supernatural world in the stories, they aren’t all involving ghosts or all involving creatures, there is a little bit of everything.
I love a good narration by John Pirhalla as well!

6 Great Shorts
I totally enjoy listening to these short horror stories by great authors with vivid imaginations and good narration only complaints are to short and wanted them to continue and no need to listen in order. In Vol 9 If I had to say which was my favorite it would be Gambling as I love ghosts then toss-up between Shadow Creature and Born Tonight. In Vol 10 I enjoyed all 3 but have to admit my favorite was Photography as I love interacting ghosts and tied is An Artist Purpose and Pictures on the Wall. Highly recommend if you want quick horror shorts

Enjoyable!
Another enjoyable series of short stories. I particularly liked the Run Ripley ones, especially the one with the boy! That one chilled me. I also enjoyed the beast one!!
John Pirhalla was good. He has potential and I'm excited to see what he can do.

I love this book twice as much as the singles.
Twice the horror makes me twice as happy! Not having to change the book in the middle makes me happy too.
