  • What was the fate of the depraved English millionaire who decided to conjure up the Devil during a high class orgy?
  • What's the dark story behind the heart-stopping haunting known as the Wee Willie Winkie stalker? And why was an innocent teenage girl targeted by the knife-wielding apparition?

another hit

This one is very aptly named, weird, and more. Strange happenings and unexplainable coincidences are eerie and made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up at times. Great scare factor. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters and story to life.

One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is the sheer craziness of the tales it presents. The range of stories is staggering, from the disturbing account of a child murderer who defiled his victims in unimaginable ways to the inexplicable appearance of ghostly cities across the globe. The narrative that leaves an indelible mark, my personal favorite, is the surreal story of the actor determined to witness the fabled "Fourth Wall."

This audiobook is a continuation of his fascinating exploration into the unknown, showcasing timeslips, bizarre creatures, haunted paintings, and more. Slemen's knack for unearthing the uncharted and mysterious elements of the world is unparalleled. His books are nothing short of addictive, compelling you to delve deeper into the enigmatic and the unexplained.

In my experience, I had the privilege of immersing myself in this audiobook using immersion reading while listening to Nigel Peever's masterful narration. This combination of visual and auditory storytelling added an extra layer of depth to the experience. Peever's captivating voice allowed me to visualize the eerie scenarios painted by Slemen, creating a sense of immediacy that was both thrilling and terrifying.

As a reviewer, I must emphasize that "Tales of the Weird 3" is an audiobook experience like no other. It offers a journey into the bizarre, the unexplained, and the horrifying. Nigel Peever's narration is not just stellar; it's transcendent, ensuring that you'll find yourself ensnared in the mysteries of each tale. These stories are the stuff of nightmares, carefully woven together to test the boundaries of reality and the supernatural.

If you have a penchant for horror, an insatiable curiosity for the unknown, and a desire for a good scare that transcends mere entertainment, I wholeheartedly recommend "Tales of the Weird 3" by Tom Slemen, narrated by Nigel Peever. However, I must issue a word of caution: don't listen to it in complete darkness with headphones unless you're prepared to confront your deepest fears. As for me, I received this audiobook as a gift, and I am voluntarily leaving this review because the experience was utterly enthralling. "Tales of the Weird 3" is a haunting masterpiece that will linger in your mind long after the final chapter has come to an end.
