Felt like stories were unfinished

some good stories but a lot of them felt like unfinished thoughts on a longer idea for a story. Would be upset if I spent money or a credit on it, but since it was included it was what it was worth.

Meh. No second listen.

Good performance. This writer CAN write and there are a few passages with exceptional vision and prose. I just wish all the stories lived up to their potential.

Not very original

These stories are good to pass time, although it really seems like this author dislikes children.

Trigger Warning:

This series of short stories contains sexual assault and rape. Its not explicit in the details but i still feel it should be mentioned. The story’s are definitely creepy but its just kinda set up like one of those ‘lets never meet again’ redit posts.

Narration sounds like computer generated

The drone of the narrator had me questioning several times if it belonged to a real person. I had to stop short due to painful storytelling.

I usually LIKE collections

The narrator just made listening the opposite of relaxing. Playing with the speed helped some, but honestly, I didn't even finish. Imagine being THAT annoyed. I left it in my library. Maybe I'll be able to try again another time.
