Thriller, horror, and suspense short stories by multiple award-winning authors
A is for Addiction....
B is for Barnacles....
C is for Clairvoyance....
Discover the rest of these original horror stories from around the world. Each author chose a letter of the alphabet and was given complete artistic freedom to make something horrible happen. Some stories will be mysterious, others creepy or even profound, but all are crafted to thrill and terrify you to the last word.
This is what happens when dozens of uncensored creative people are allowed to mine the depths of the human psyche for the most depraved, twisted, horrible things imaginable.
Excerpt: "What it really meant was she was rotting away in a cage of her own flesh. The weight of her own body had crushed the flesh on her backside so that it had stopped circulating blood, had started to die. It meant that, after only twenty-six days of freedom, I had to go home and take care of her again. I came back to a familiar smell of piss and sweat and mold; but that was all mixed with a new taint, the sour and yet sickeningly-sweet smell of rotting flesh. She wasn’t in her usual chair. Instead, I found her collapsed on a mattress in a bedroom she hadn’t used for as long as I could remember, the springs creaking under her weight. She was dressed in a simple blue shirt, almost like a hospital gown, and lifting up the bottom edge, my eyes came level to where she was rotting." - "N Is for Necrosis"

Paul Jenkins does a good job with voices, despite dealing with a roster of, I dunno, 50+ characters, none of which actually crossover between stories.

With that out of the way, let's talk about this book. The short stories in this book are all connected in a couple of ways. First of all, they are presented sequentially, with the title of each story starting with the next letter in the alphabet, A is for Addiction, B is for Barnacle, etc. They are also connected thematically, with many recurring elements throughout the stories, such as barnacles, doomsday cults, etc. I really liked the cohesiveness this lent to the work as a whole. While the writing style overall was excellent, I found that some of the stories just didn't hold my interest.
The narrator of this audiobook has a terrific voice for the genre of horror. His accent added an element of mystery to everything, and his voice was overall very pleasing. The emotional rawness of the tales was expressed nicely in his vocal tones, and he really helped to draw me in to those stories that grabbed me the most. Overall, a nice collection.
Interesting idea, theme adds cohesiveness

The odd thing for this one, at least for me, is that it seemed the author(s) tried to turn all the stories into one cohesive piece. You'll notice it early on in story C (clairvoyance I think). References are made to other stories and while only one will make sense (since you're only 2.5 stories into the collection), it's clear that they are references. I found that cool, but things got REALLY confusing later on.
Many of the more mundane stories seemed to get swept up into this overarching plot of some sort of "initiative", and even that didn't make a heck of a lot of sense. Then later on I think we find out that even that group (which was using another group from earlier in the stories) is being used by yet another power. It got very X-Files and I don't mean that in a good way. I mean that in the "this is a random collection of stories that you're trying to make fit one ever-changing narrative that you seem to be making up as you go" kind of way. The fact that E is for Echo was in another collection previously further adds to my belief.
That said, there's some pretty enjoyable stuff here if you ignore all the rest of that mess. Take them as they are and ignore the world making. Paul Jenkins did an excellent job, and I'd definitely recommend this collection as the hits far outweigh the misses.
I was provided this audiobook free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

Very interesting concept! I really enjoyed the stories, and the narration was amazing!
All connected somehow, but each stands on its own.
Really enjoyed listening, and hope to hear more in the future.
