Summary

Producing an immersive audiobook experience (with narration, actors, music, and sound effects), Seth Andrews has drawn upon his decades-long experience as a broadcaster and storyteller to conjure an eerie otherworld of ghosts, spirits, devils, and supernatural beasts. A mix of original tales and popular urban legends, these 14 freestanding chapters favor ghouls over gore, providing easily digestible vignettes of supernatural fiction, ghostly lore, and creepy fun for anyone who has ever enjoyed a scary film, haunted house, or Halloween campfire story.

Spooky and heartbreaking

Regular listeners of Seth Andrews' podcast will find old Halloween favourites here, some of them rewritten a little and rerecorded as well as some new stories and urban legends we haven't heard before. This collection is much more like an old fashioned radio horror show than what you might usually expect from an audio book as it is highly produced with a soundscape that creates atmosphere and enhances the tales.I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Creepiness at its best

I've been listening to Seth Andrews for a number of years on his Thinking Atheist podcast and was manually curious to see what this title would turn out like..... I wasn't disappointed.
A mix of brand new fiction and reworking of older stories, combined with some background information and writers notes, it doesn't fail to entertain.
Well worth the listen.

Genuinely scary and even traumatising in places

I’ve been looking forward to listening to this since hearing Seth’s annual Halloween Ghost Stories episodes on The Thinking Atheist podcast.
The stories themselves are very good but it’s the music and sound effects that really make the stories terrifying.
I dare you to plug in your headphones and listen to Arabella the Black (chapter 14) alone in a darkened room in the middle of the night. It’ll make your heart race and your ears ring!
I highly recommend this if you like horror or dramatised audiobooks.

Young people will enjoy this.

Ideal for young teenagers. The stories are very predictable if you have ever read supernatural literature before. VERY disappointed as all the reviews were quite positive.

Boring

Very easy to stop listening too.

found these stories boring at parts and drawn out in others.

it was not grabbing my attention or imagination.
