Surprisingly good

I say "surprisingly good" in my headline because some of the titles and overviews of the six stories didn't sound that appealing, but the audiobook was a recommendation by a friend ... so I needed to get this book in order to feed back my views.

I was mostly pleasantly surprised by each story. I think "chillers" accurately describes what they are, they aren't pure horror in the jump-scare sense, just creepy tales that may well stick with you. A couple give off a Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton "Inside No. 9" vibe in my opinion. One of the stories in fact, I won't say which, remains with me a couple of days later, which is a sign of a good story. I am one of those people who mentally projects visual imagery onto the forefront of my mind when reading and listening to books and I got this one in particular in full technicolour. I can still see its climax. Chilling.

That's not to say that this is perfection. 'The Fixation' was perhaps a little silly for my taste; 'Spanish Ladies' was perhaps the weakest story for me, but overall the performances as well as writing are top notch.

If there were more of these in a series, I'd get them.

Hammer Chillers

The six audio dramas contained in this audiobook are of the highest quality. The stories are ingenious and,of course, disturbing . The dialogue is believable and the acting is superb. It would be great if Hammer could make more audiobooks like this. Great sound effects too.

Top quality production

First time I’ve bought one of these that I’ve enjoyed every single story! My favourite one is the internet troll - the evil guy is brilliant lol.

Only downside is I can’t find the other volumes?

Utterly Brilliant

As a long time fan of horror, I’ve listened to a number of audio plays over the years and every single one of these Hammer Chillers are imaginative, surprising and superbly written and performed.

Great stories with great acting and effects.

An extremely enjoyable collection of horror plays that will make you feel quite uncomfortable and genuinely scared.
I listened whilst out walking my dog in the half-light mist and the sound effects and narrative made me feel quite fearful.
It was brilliant and well worth a listen and re-listen.

Awesome, original horror.

Entertaining, original stories, fab performances and some very effective, creepy music make this a hugely entertaining listen. It's hard to pick a favourite, but it might be The Devil In The Dark. Love this audio book and will look out for any future anthologies from Hammer and Bafflegab.
