Derelictions are horror stories told in ways you may not have encountered before. Something is missing from the silent places and worlds inside these stories. Something has been removed, taken flight, or been destroyed. Us. Derelictions are weird tales that tell of aftermaths and of new and liminal places. Each location has witnessed catastrophe, infernal visitations, or unearthly transformations. But across these landscapes of murder, genocide and invasion, crucial evidence remains.

Story
Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the Necronomicon, the black-magic grimoire he invented as a literary prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's own descriptions of the Necronomicon...until now. Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.

Story
It was supposed to be a simple bank robbery. Quick. Clean. Efficient. It was none of those. With police searching for them across the state, a band of criminals hide out in a desolate cabin on the frozen shore of Lake Shadow. Isolated, shrouded in thick forest, and haunted by a mysterious history, they thought it was the perfect place to hide. Tensions mount as they hear strange noises outside. Slain animals are found in the snow. Before long, they realize something is watching them. Something hungry, violent, and not of this world.

The Necronomicon was not the first book by H.P. Lovecraft to terrify readers with tales of dark and twisted horrors from beyond. No, the Al-Azif, or Book of the Insect, is the first work that told mankind of Cthulhu, Azathoth, and other terrors. Indeed, it was the book that inspired "The Mad Arab" Abdul Al-Hazred to write its more famous successor.

Creepy is a collection of short stories, some fiction and some not, that will send shivers down your spine! Creepy contains two of my favorite short suspense stories ("The Rumblin'" and "Murdoch's Eyes"), but best of all, it includes some of my real life supernatural experiences...absolutely true ghost stories. I was around 10 years old when I had my first supernatural experience. Thirty years later, my ghosts have returned and they are creepier than ever.

Story
Dr. Michael Cayle wants the best for his wife and young daughter. That's why he moves the family from Manhattan to accept a private practice in the small New England town of Ashborough. Everything there seems so quaint and peaceful at first. But Ashborough is a town with secrets. Unimaginable secrets. Many of the townspeople are strangely nervous, and some speak quietly of legends that no sane person could believe. But what Michael discovers in the woods, drenched in blood, makes him wonder.
Summary
Tips for monster hunting:
- Check the deepest part of the ocean. Or let someone with a submarine check it for you.
- Order a monster egg online. Make sure it won't hatch before it arrives.
- Don't. What are you, crazy? You don't need to look. The monsters will find you.
Monstronomicon is a collection of 100 stories from around the world. These aren't your everyday werewolves and wendigos either. Each story is told by the survivor of an encounter with a unique and mysterious creature more wild and varied than you can imagine. This audiobook has something for everyone with a dark mind, so listen now to find the perfect monster for you.
Some monsters are quirky and friendly, while others are apocalyptic behemoths crawling up from the depths. Some stories are heartwarming, funny, or profound, while others are a bloodbath.

Are You Sitting Uncomfortably?
Then I’ll begin. This collection is a triumph of originality and imagination. There are new ideas here. The stories are provocative, clever and groundbreaking. The narrator has a certain quality to his voice and performance that is downright perfect for these stories. I was genuinely horrified! Buy this anthology if you are wearied by the same old, same old...and you will be so deliciously disturbed...

Ummm...WTF
I guess that I should start off with the only positive critique I can offer. A few of the stories (7 to be exact) were fairly decent. Some even managed to be somewhat creepy.
Now that we have that out of the way...
In the interest of time, I'll stick to my top 3 complaints about "Monstronomicon"
1. Fire the editor! The book runs a little over 26 hours. Of that, about a hour is repeated passages ( I'm almost not exaggerating).
2. If you are going with 1 narrator to read all 100 stories, then go wirh someone who can at vary the tone and pitch of his voice. By about the fifth story I felt like I was listening to a bee hive rather than a man reading a scary story.
3. Almost all of the stories were terrible. Imagine reading something written by an especially underwhelming seventh grader and you'll be in the ballpark.

I really wanted to like this.
I really tried to like this collection. Out of the 100 stories maybe 20 were ok. Most of them felt unfinished and half-baked. A good workshop would have turned most of these into great reads. I will give the narrator, and the 4 voices he used, props for sticking it out.
