A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth - from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds - collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

creepy and holds attention
I loved it! the author was able to catch my attention with dark and mysterious! it takes a lot for me to want to listen to an audible verse music when I go anywhere for the simple fact I normally have others with me. That being side my niece actually likes some of the dark, creepy, and extremely gory details we love it!

Certainly worth a listen
The stories were interesting, well written, and easy to listen to. Except Property Condemned, that depressed the hell out of me. The performance was excellent. The range on that man! I thought for certain there were different narrators. I'd recommend it.

Not for the faint of heart
It took me a few days to listen. Each story has a dark, raw quality that isnt like binging a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes. I recommend this if you like the darker stories, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Satisfying Listen
This was my first foray into the writings of Jonathan Maberry and I am now a fan. Out of the five stories I liked them all except the "Doctor Nine" story, that one did not do anything for me. My favorite was the Sam Hunter story. So in these five stories you will get a little bit of everything. The narrating by Tom Weiner was also good. Recommended
