About this listen
In the tradition of The Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, Ronald McGillvray’s Tales From the Parkland offers a spine-chilling collection that blurs the line between reality and nightmare.
A father is forced to make a terrible decision… Which of his children will he sacrifice to the Garbage Collectors? A family’s sightseeing trip turns into a desperate fight for survival when a city is besieged by flesh-melting rain. A man’s childhood nightmare returns, forcing him to confront the monster under the bed to protect his family. Two siblings must rely on each other to survive when their daycare turns into a den of horror. Two elite snipers wage an impossible war when a secret military experiment unleashes the apocalypse.
Prepare to be haunted by these twisted tales and others that will keep you up listening late into the night!

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.

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.

Fun and creepy!
Tales From The Parkland by Ronald McGillvray
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a great collection of 11 short spooky horror stories and 1 longer novella at the end. Such a fun read!! Most of these stories are filled with creepiness and darkness!
A few standouts for me are:
-The Garbage Collectors
-Ubiquity
-Typo
-A Late Night Call
I listened to the audio version and the narrator did a very good job also! This is my first book from this author, but I’ll definitely be looking for more!
Thank you to Velox Books & Ronald McGillvray for an audio copy of this fantastic book of terror!
Grab your copy!!

No Buyer’s Remorse
I liked all the stories, and that almost never happens for me with a collection. What grabbed my attention was the reference to the Crate Monster from the Creepshow. To this day, as a matured grown man, I still remember how scary that was. I was a little disappointed with some of the dialog in Harmony, because I thought it was ‘horror-cliché’. It was a good listen overall.

Slightly daunting short stories
A collection of short horror stories, even though they were not as scary as I expected, which is honestly fine by me as very scary stories can make me paranoid at night... 😅 Some stories have a full ending, some leave a little to your own deduction, all induce thought on what you might do in the crazy situations our characters were unwillingly finding themselves in,,. * Good narration, short format, very easy to listen to and definitely recommended!
