About this listen

An animatronic clown is more than what it seems, a terrible bedbug infestation, a film project between brothers gone wrong and beloved pet turtle taken. These are a few of the spooky creepypasta stories you'll find here. Inside this debut collection you'll find over 20 concise and creepy horror stories straight from the famous Nosleep forum on Reddit. Some you may have read before...some you haven't. Turn the lights down, immerse yourself, and enjoy!

Narration improved as the stories progressed. I would seriously suggest having a better transition between stories. it is not always clear when one ends and another begins.

Excellent collection of creepy stories.

I'll be honest, I got through the first story and turned this book off. Upon realising I couldn't leave a review as I hadn't listened long enough I gave it another shot.

The actual stories aren't too bad, they are unfortunately dragged down by awful narration. It's a cross between PC text-to-speech from the mid 2000's, and a guy learning to read. It sounded more manageable at 1.2x speed because it sped it up slightly but it still didn't humanise it.

I'd read the stories, I wouldn't listen to another book.

Decent stories, poor narration.

I liked a lot of the short stories. Especially the ones that allow your imagination to fill the ending.
One thing I wasn’t a fan of was the transitions to new stories. There should be a bigger pause and a new chapter announcement rather than just the story title with no pause.

Loved the stories even though some of them were only a few minutes long they were still effective

Great stories most of them gave me goosebumps

The stories were interesting and captivating, but the narration and editing needs work. The stories themselves are creepy, good pacing, and interesting.

Howrver, there isn't a clear pause between stories, meaning it isn't clear when one story ends and another begins. I think I'd have enjoyed these stories more if I had read them.

Great stories, editing/narrator needs work

Overall a decent collection of short stories, some are better than others and the performance occasionally brings down the story. Keep an eye out for transitions between stories as they aren't always obvious.

A good collection

Good collection of short stories.
Agree with other reviewer, needs better transition between stories, made it confusing to know where one stopped and another started

These are stories you will enjoy if you like unexpected ending. Some of them are more creepy than others. I will follow Scotts releases in the future to see how he develops. Usually I listen to longer stories, so this was a new experience with this type of stories. Well worth to listen to. The narration is softspoken and for some of these stories it felt out of place. I will have to agree with the others that it would have been better with a little pause between the stories.

If you like the short stories of Roald Dahl.

good short book with some short stories. loved the actual content of the book but the narration is very dry and bland and I found it hard to pay attention to the stories

fun short stories ruined by a bland narrator
