About this listen

“An incredible collection of stories.”—C.D. Kester, author of Trailer Park

From Reddit NoSleep legend Tor-Anders Ulven comes a collection that plunges readers into the terrifying depths of the unknown.

An unlucky man falls upward into the sky. A disturbing dinner ritual begins with the family removing their left eyes and only grows worse from there… A woman encounters a mysterious entity that allows her to travel through time with gruesome consequences. A rapidly aging child with the ability to control minds forces her father into a nightmare of servitude. A man forms a deadly alliance with the intelligent parasite attached to his neck.

These masterful tales peel back the veil of the familiar, revealing a world where obscurity isn’t just darkness—it’s a living, breathing nightmare.

A strange and wild collection of short stories veering between horror and sci-fi. Each story leaves the reader wondering how the story took that turn and how to unpick the ending.

I loved this collection and I appreciated the author’s talent to surprise the reader with the strange, but also with the events itself, keeping the reader on their toes and just baffling them with unexpected endings! The majority of the stories in this collection lull the reader into a false sense of comfort, tricking them into expecting what’s coming next, but then turning completely the stories in itself, without warning.

The narrator Geoff Sturtevant was very good as well, especially at interpreting the characters and the vibe of the stories.
If you want to scratch the horror short story itch, this is a great collection, especially as the length of the stories vary, so you can fit them in with whatever amount of time you have.

Thanks to the author and Velox Books for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

wild and strange stories!
