About this listen

Waking the Dead by breakout author Bryan Asbury features eight short stories that will take you by the hand and lead you down a dark, shadowy path where terror and retribution reign supreme. Asbury, the product of far too many 80’s and 90’s cinematic thrillers, knows what horror fans want, and he knows how to deliver! Lock the doors and sit back, because this is a collection that you will appreciate—at least until it’s time to shut off the lights...

Critic reviews

“This is bar none one of the most well-paced and terrifying short stories that I've heard in a very long time. Bryan continues to demonstrate a keen knack for getting into the listener's mind and leading them down a dark, shadowy stretch of abject terror. This one is, at worst, a solid addition to a horror anthology series, or at best, a movie in the making." —P.D. Williams author of Dark House, Many Rooms

"Bryan Asbury’s ability to craft stories that are both enthralling and eerie continues to set him apart in the world of horror literature and cinema." —TBM Horror

"Asbury’s new short story collection, “Waking the Dead,” represents a significant evolution of his literary style. When looking at his new stories, his stellar dialogue writing and excellent eye for characters are still very much present, but they’re paired with a shocking, more violent tone that works remarkably well. They won’t appeal to everyone, but they work remarkably well for horror fans who either don’t mind or prefer an edgier bend to the stories they read." —Yellow Scene Magazine
