This is a good, old-fashioned ghost story. I listened to it idly while walking my dogs and for a short story it's entertaining. The story is a little underwhelming, especially the ending, but overall the tone was eerie and spooky. A good October listen for sure.

Good for October, if a little underwhelming

The narrator, Warrior, is AWFUL. Had to keep going back to re-listen because the narrator is so bad I kept zoning out. Sounded as though he was reading an instruction manual. Based on the other reviews, it may just be me who disliked the narrator so much. Story was pretty good, ending was interesting tho I would have appreciated some more details about the mother.
Nice, short listen

Hard to listen to…

The story is okay, but too short. A good time-passer, but a little disappointing. Still, just a bit over 30 minutes.

Okay Ghost Story

Narrator does a great job reading this short story. Well done, draws you in. Bit of an odd ending, though. But not bad.

Definitely gave me a few chills

Loved it. This was incredibly intriguing. Well performed and subtle - perfect for a scary ghost story.

Really scary

This was a pretty great atmospheric creepy story about a photographer hired to take pictures of an old "haunted" house and where that leads him.

The narration was alright, not great, could've stood to be a little more firm and I think the story would've benefited from that.

Creepy Story

This was a really interesting little short story, with just enough spook to make you shiver. However, the narrator about put me to sleep. Even with the speed turned up (something I do with most of my audiobooks), the pace of narration was just. so. slow.

Would I read more by this author? Yes

The narrator was great, and the story was well written. A fun haunted house short.

short and spooky

The sporadic cutaways throughout the story are enhanced by the steady delivery of the narrator,

Neatly written, neatly performed.

It’s a good story. Narration style didn’t fit the mood or storyline. Like another listener, I kept zoning out-on a short story!

Narrator wasn’t a good choice
