About this listen

R.k. Kombrinck, co-host of Night of the Living Podcast, delivers a collection of short stories to make you dread the empty house across the street; to make you wonder what lurks in the woods behind the park and question the smile of your kind, elderly neighbor.

A new employee uncovers his workplace’s top-secret supernatural history. A little girl unknowingly invites a sinister creature into her family’s home through conversations with her “imaginary” friend. A hellish virus brings a cursed town’s populace back from the dead. A boy discovers something far more dangerous than Saint Nick coming down the chimney on Christmas Eve. The disappearance of a couple spurs an investigation into the dark history of monster sightings in that area.

In these stories and many others, These Lonely Places takes the world you know, the world of the familiar and mundane, and turns it into a playground of ghosts, demons, harpies, and murderers.

A tastefully written anthology and the more stories the better it gets. I have to admit I wasn't wowed by the first 2 stories but after that I was sad to hear it come to an end. It gets weird, creepy and most of all disturbing. I'm ready for another book from this author.

Also the narrator KILLED IT. When I say this man was not only talented but dedicated to all the roles! Primo!!!

There is always something for everyone in these short story collections. Unfortunately, there was nothing for me in this one. The narrator was good though.

Not for me.

Title says it all! Really enjoyed the majority of these. Several of them legitimately creeped me out.

Great collection of short stories.

a decent variety of spooky stories & appreciated that some of the mature subject matter wasn't too explicitly written.

Good Writing

There are a lot of stories in the collection that will stay with me for a long time. The author masterfully weaves tales that are narrated very well. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s a good mixture of longer and shorter stories. Give this a listen for sure.

Great storytelling

I was bored with most of the stories. Difficult to finish. First few stories were not interesting at all. Just “odd” things happening.

Put me to sleep.
