About this audiobook

A bone-chilling anthology from legendary horror editor Ellen Datlow, Screams from the Dark contains twenty-nine all-original tales about monsters. From werewolves and vampires, to demons and aliens, the monster is one of the most recognizable figures in horror. But what makes something, or someone, monstrous? Award-winning and up-and-coming authors like Richard Kadrey, Cassandra Khaw, Indrapramit Das, Priya Sharma, and more attempt to answer this question. These all-new stories range from traditional to modern, from mainstream to literary, from familiar monsters to the unknown . . . and unimaginable. This chilling collection has something to please-and terrify-everyone, so lock your doors, hide under your covers, and try not to scream.

Whoever picked these stories better not quit their day job (or, rather, should maybe find one). This is the second collection of stories I've bought that were edited by Ellen Datlow, and neither was worth the money. This collection has 7, maybe 8, decent tales. The rest? Dull stories that just meander and annoyingly conclude, all too often, with ambiguous endings. So disappointed.
