Reality and Other Stories

Eleanor Luhar

I've really been trying to read (listen to?) more audiobooks, and what better than a bunch of horror stories? The narrators chosen for these tales were all great, really immersing you in the story. While I wouldn't call most of these stories horror exactly, a couple did have decidedly creepy elements. The narration certainly added to this eeriness in some of the stories.
While none were overly scary, the stories in this collection were all interesting. They were modern, revolving around the internet and technology in some instances, making them relevant and relatable. I would have liked more of a fear factor, but that's just personal preference really.
Each story was relatively short, making it easy to listen to one or two a night. I gave 4 stars to this audiobook!
