About this listen

Dark clouds overhead may stir up whimsical twists. Collected for the first time since their initial publications, Darkness with a Chance of Whimsy presents 10 tales from the imagination of R.J. Sullivan. Thrills and chills await you, but you may also get blindsided by the absurd. This volume includes a pair of stories featuring Rebecca Burton, the mysterious investigator of R.J.'s acclaimed paranormal thriller series. Among the 10 stories, you'll find:

  • "The Assurance Salesman" shows five strangers more about themselves than they ever guessed.
  • You don't want to venture into Daddy's basement in "Fade".
  • Rebecca Burton tries to talk someone out of a bad idea in "Backstage Pass".
  • A bullied police detective finally defeats his rival in "Able-Bodied".
  • A desperate father finds the "Inner Strength" to save his young daughter, "Becky" Burton.
  • A child seeds his aquarium with a most unusual "Starter Kit".
  • A brilliant robotics engineer creates a "Robot Vampire".

Short Stories.

An interesting selection of short stories, I was a little put off by the first story "The Assurance Salesman" and must say that I almost ditched the book because of this however I decided to continue and I'm glad I did as later stories more than made up for it. Very well written with a wonderful diverse set of characters and themes. I particularly liked the way the author narrated his own comments about each story before it started and before Danielle Muething came in narrating the main story which she did very professionally. Having given my least favourite it is difficult to choose but My favourite was probably "Backstage Pass". A thought provoking story including time travel and someone trying to change history and it's unexpected consequences. All in all a very good listen/read. Highly recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of this book by the narrator and leave this honest review voluntarily.
