About this listen

2019. The year certainly made its mark on the world - and more than its share of scars. It also made for a bounty of good horror stories of the extreme kind, the best of which the tales herein serve to illustrate.

2019 was the year Year's Best Hardcore Horror went global. Not by design but because the stories inside just happened to have been written by authors hailing from various parts of the globe. From Australia by way of South Africa, to Italy, Scotland, Norway, Taiwan, North America and India - the common denominator being that their tales come from darkest regions of imagination.

ACTUALLY made me dry retch (which is great!)

This year's collection is one of the better ones in the series. Narrator has a sexy voice no matter what she's saying (not being a pervert, just an observation).
Some stories were so gross it LITERALLY made me dry retch, which made the other drivers around me concerned, as I listened to the book while driving. But that's good, coz you know when stories are good when they evoke some sort of reaction from you.
Some stories are more poems than anything, which confused me, but it's not the writer's fault that I'm an idiot :)

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
