I skipped two or three stories because of the vulgarity. Too bad the writers are illiterate and don’t know any other adjectives. Most I truly did enjoy.

Some good some horrible

May be a good listen if none of your favorite authors have new books out. Some are very good and interesting others were not for me

nice collection of short stories. They are great for when you need something for a brief listening period.

enjoyable anthology

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
While most of the stories were interesting, none of them were captivating and the endings were anticlimactic. In addition, the narrators were decent with the exception of the second to last story. It was so bad I had to fast forward through what might have been a good story. As we all know, a narrator will make or break a story.

Somewhat disappointing

I found only a few of the stories excellent and this collection was not as good as the later 2023 collection. The stories were of a "tough rough" style that is not my favorite.

Disappointing
