Hear dark tales of terror and intrigue from an alien child left on an Earth overrun by zombie cannibals to the first killer in all the world, Cain, the murderer of Abel, his brother.

Any additional comments?

I thought the stories were boring and uninteresting. The only good thing about this audiobook was Joe Hempel. I received this audiobook for free through Audiobook Boom for my unbiased review.

Boring

Would you consider the audio edition of Sinister - Tales of Dread 2015 to be better than the print version?

I felt that the narrator was ok, he didn't really add anything extra to the stories that I couldn't have enjoyed by reading the book myself.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I particularly liked the demon in the story The Devouring, s/he/it is an evil creature that learns that evil should be creative too

I would have liked to hear more atmosphere and tension in the story

Who was the most memorable character of Sinister - Tales of Dread 2015 and why?

The character Cain was brought to life in In The Beginning-The First Killer, in a retelling of one of the oldest stories in the Bible. He is shown in a more sympathetic light than ever before

I enjoyed listening to this book especially with Joe Hempel’s narration. Some of the stories I liked but not all are horror some are sy-fi. It contains robots, aliens and zombies. Overall good and different listen for short stories. This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom. Thank you!

This is a book of eight very different short stories. The stories range from zombies to the story of Cain and Abel. Somehow the author gives the stories A great sense of cohesiveness. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading. I received this book at no cost to me from the author narrator or publisher for a honest review

Eight fascinating stories

I was rather disappointed by this short story collection. A couple of the stories were reasonably interesting, but the rest were boring and not really frightening or scary at all.

Joe Hempel is a narrator I quite like overall and he did his best to bring out the best of the stories contained in this collection, and I think he succeeded with that quite well.

Average collection of short stories

A short but entertaining audiobook, containing an interesting collection of horror stories. Demons, aliens, hit men, and just down right bad men show up in these short stories; there is even a novel retelling of the biblical story of Cain and Abel. The narration is great, he has a pleasing voice that creates tension and excitement at the appropriate points in the story.

Some good gems mixed in with some that just weren't my cup
Of tea. The narration was good. Listened optimum at 1.25 speed. Will look for more by both the author and narrator as it was a promising introduction to both. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review

Some good some not so good horror

There are a few stories here that I rather enjoyed. The most finely detailed was, of course, the story of Cain. Have you ever wondered what lead him to kill his brother and what happened to him after he was driven from his home to wander the earth? I also enjoyed the story of the little girl who finds a friend who has the same insatiable hunger as she. There was an entertaining one about a demon with too little imagination. I was thinking that the 'devouring' parts in The Devouring weren't that interesting and then...well, you'll have to read it to see.

Joe Hempel didn't bring as much to this listen as I'm used to him doing. Usually, for me, he is the main reason I listen to the book but in this one he was just OK. I listened on 1.5 speed.
