About this listen

Charles Michael Bryant–Charlie-Bear to his parents–is nine months old and suffers from that age-old and worrisome condition known as colic. The doctors say he'll grow out of it. His father, Sam, wishes he would go ahead and do so...and his mother, Faith, wants a good night's sleep. It isn't gas that keeps Charlie-Bear awake, nor is it heartburn, reflux or a wet diaper. Charlie-bear has drawn the attention of Wicked...a nasty thing who moves as a shadow, speaks only in rhyme and steals the souls of children. He is a monster who creates more nightmares and wants Charlie-Bear to become one.

I loved this little novella! I got a free Audible code for it on Reddit. It was a fun, modern take on classic horror stories. I think the novella does great on its own, but it would also be super fun as a full length novel!

Fun, Creative Horror Novella!

Dark and chilling—hold your baby tight! This one gave me the creeps in the best way. A spine-tingling, fast-paced listen that just might keep you up at night—especially if you hear your baby crying! Great narration.

Great short story and excellent narration! Makes those 2am bottle feedings extra creepy for new parents. Check the shadows, for something Wicked might be lurking!

A short horror for sleep deprived parents everywhere
