Summary

The leaves are falling.

You can smell that long-dying aroma of Autumn in the air. Kids are talking trick or treat and the leaves are already screaming at you in red and yellow and deep golden rust as they prepare for one final parachute down into the dirt. The tombstones are talking amongst themselves and winter is hiding just around the corner. It is the time of the year when people draw around the wood stove and the campfire and whisper stories of death and omens and ghosts and things that don't even have a name.

These are some of the creepiest October stories that I have ever written.

Well I really enjoyed this book, it is delightful collection of short creepy tales.
The observational descriptive writing by the author Steve Vernon is wonderfully detailed . This, along with the excellent eerie narration of Stephen Wolfe transports the reader into stories, to the point that you actually feel that you are there watching stories slowly unfurl before you.
If you are looking for horrific and gory violence I suggests you look elsewhere as these tales are more ominously sinister, disturbingly direful and descriptively excellent.

nicely narrated set of short stories, each very enjoyable and a little creepy - just what I hoped for. Nicely done all round.

short, sweet and perfect for dark nights

The narration was ok with a creepy kind of voice, he did some ok voices for characters and he did jump to a real redneck accent in one story, It was a little odd to read the introduction to an e-book for an audiobook though they could have at least changed the words.

The stories themselves were ok, sometimes creepy as advertised but with a fair amount of padding, not as many bad descriptions as in his Tatterdemon works but still sometimes you were left waiting for the story to kick in.

Loved the narration, although the volume was a little low, unfortunately. The stories themselves were very well written although I found them a little repetitive. The Tumblebug Man was the standout, very vivid imagery!

Please note that I was given a free copy of the book, although I’ve avoided any bias.

Suitably creepy, if a little repetitive

Any additional comments?

The quality of writing in these short stories took me by surprise, as in, it is seriously good. The author knows his art in how to draw the reader into the world he's created and demonstrates quite an unusual mind for story-telling!
Story-wise, some strange, pretty creepy and odd little tales. Some better than others, a couple I didn't get but i was still very much taken in with the writing and descriptions, so enjoyed the journey.
