mind blowing stories, with entertaining delivery

Love the intro by the author Adam-Troy for each story, very insightful. He also have a lovely voice. Each story take you somewhere unexpected and often in an unconventional way. A special mention to the narrated Stefan Rudnicki, he just have the perfect voice for narrating. The other narrator are also very entertaining.
Enjoy!!

Author offers quality shorts with consistent style

Adam-Troy Castro has a clearly identifiable writing style all his own, even across genres (at least, I say this of his short stories; I'm not acquainted with his longer work). This collection of his short stories is released by Skyboat Media, the name behind Lightspeed Magazine, a quality publication itself. I suspect that a few of these stories will stick with me for a while, and not the ones I expexted when reading through the story titles before listening.

The author's foreword is not to be skipped; entertaining, enlightening and enticing, it's a great introduction to the anthology. Read by Castro himself, his delivery is notably not so dull as many others who attempt the same feat. I don't think I've ever felt such suspense in a book's foreword.

Several of the stories are intense enough in their horror elements to warrant the advisory of various triggers that the author provides in the foreword (and sparingly before select stories). I came for the SciFi, but was surprised by my appreciation of the horror too, as well as other included genre offerings. After the hype about the receptoon of "Her Husband's Hands", I was surprised to find that yes, I liked this romance, and wasn't in the least bit repulsed, except appropriately by certain aspects of the core premise as a broader thing. This book does contain unsettling, discomforting content, but as those parts are explicitly horror, that's not to be taken as a detraction from the work.

I didn't listen to the story starting at chapter 23, and was grateful for the advice offered by Castro regarding that particular story. Perhaps I'll come back to it.

Stefan Rudnicki is a delight to one's ears, as he always is. I also really enjoyed the story that featured both he and one of the other narrators, particularly for it's delivery.

This book is good, but it may or may not be for you; the best way to find out is to try it for yourself.
