“This is hard to rate. I think the definition of 'scream' is used very loosely, so readers shouldn't go into this expecting constant scares. Some of the stories are quite silly. But there are quite a few of these that hit where they land with the scare factor. I'm glad I kept listening because if I read one that wasn't great, I found a good one in the next story or the one after that.
Highlights:
"The Unknown Patriot" by Chris Grabenstein--not a scary story at all, but it was so fun. The main character is an underdog and he is fantastic to root for.
"The Trouble With Squirrels" by Doug Levin--another one that was so fun and adventurous. It was a bit of a thriller, but not scary.
"The Only Child" by Tonya Hurley--genuinely creepy and quite scary.
I would give this 3.75/5.0 stars because when they are good, they are really good and overall, there was a lot of creativity on offer despite how silly some of the stories came off as. I read a lot of middle grade fiction, so it wasn't that the stories were too young for me. I just didn't think they delivered on the concept across the board.”
