Haunting short stories
I REALLY enjoyed these stories.
they are about 1 hour each, and they are really imaginative, and haunting, without resorting to any of the usual tropes.
What I mean is don't expect gore, but you can expect to find weird haunting tales and in some cases genuine horror.
I highly recommend this.

Each one different them the others. All creative
First off. The cover of this book (As off this writing. Audible does change some now and then) is a little misleading. It suggests gothic stories of ghosts and dungeons, not unlike the work of J S Fanu or even Mary Shelley. What's on display here isn't like that at all, but it is pretty varied. The closest I can think of for a comparison is the collections of Richard Matheson out there.
The open in story about a man who's body starts growing flowers is beautiful and a little sad. But could have used a bit more characterisation. Then we get a comedic story about a father driven to near insanity by his daughter's awful pets that would have felt just right in a Tales From the Crypt issue. The next two stories suffer from each being one one joke that gets played out a bit too long, but I wouldn't call them bad. But the final story set on a Night Train is a gem. One of the creepiest stories I've heard in a long time, and with some strong character writing to boot!
These are neat little experiments. Give this a shot if you just want some straight forward short stories with real effort put into them.
