Something for everybody!

As always commenting on a bundle of stories is not easy.
This collections has so many that you can really lost count. I already knew a couple of them.
Anyway, the themes range from murder, dystopian, sci-fi, Twilight Zone style, alien, just to name a few.
I love them more when they have suspense and action (or a surprising ending) and less when is more a narrated type of story.
Still, there is plenty for everybody tastes, even lengthwise.
The only thing common to all the stories is the narration - fantastic in every case.
This book is a must for any of Milo's fan.

Funny

I won an audio version of this book in a Librarything giveaway. So anyways, I loved how there were a variety of readers. With so many voices reading different stories, it kept me interested. Full disclosure, I love comedy and horror but sci fi not so much. But I still enjoyed these stories. There was a scene ( and I can't remember it word for word) but it was pretty much like 'I have a hacksaw and now I'm gonna cut off your head'.... I had my headphones on and literally loled. My hubby looked at me like I was crazy, but I love dark humor like that. Anyways, I'm giving this book 4 stars. Some of the stories just weren't for me, but I loved other stories. So on average, it's a4 star book to me

A great collection.

An excellent collection of short stories. I liked the few that had a loose linked story line.

Good set of strange fantasy stories!

Unreal Encounters by Milo James Fowler is an audible book I won from the author's newsletter! The book has 40 short stories of weird encounters, and some are stranger than others! Lol! There were a variety of narrators performing the stories.
My favorite was about a special girl that kept her bangs long to cover her eyes in school. She wore mirrored sunglasses out of class. She was bullied a lot but did have one male friend.
I won't tell you what happened but it was great!
I would rate some of the stories a 3 star and some 5 stars. The majority were 4 stars. A good variety of stories! This is for the true fantasy geek!

A few cheesy, "sci-fi", stories.

A few cheesy, "sci-fi", stories. Some Twilight Zone styled, "techno political" stories, that were tedious.

Something for everyone

With 40 short stories you really can find something for every taste.

I found them very fresh and different.

Especially liked the alternate history about JFK in Dallas.

Performance was very well done.

This was an audiobook and I love to listen to audio books when I’m on the road, so I’m sure I’ll use it again and again.

Excellent!

Thoroughly enjoyed all the different encounters throughout the book! Some a bit more mind blowing depending on the story but all in all a great collection and great book to listen to!
