About this listen

Available for the first time and only on audio, New York Times bestselling author Edgar Cantero delivers a new collection of short horror stories perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Hear tales of a corpse bent on revenge, a library book from hell, an Armageddon where the world ends without a bang or a whimper, and more. These tales found within are bound to hold your thoughts—and nightmares—long after you’ve finished: “A Good-Looking Corpse,” “Goin’ Down,” “You Don’t Know This,” and “The Fifth.”

Edgar Cantero cleverly subverts expectations at every turn and reinterprets classic tropes in inventive and original ways, sure to leave you unnerved and hungry for the next story.

The performances are fantastic.
The stories left you guessing to see how it ends.
My only criticism is there I wish to have seen some longer stories, but the stories in this book are at the best length.

I hope to see more work in the future.

Fun and horrifying. Glad to see your return.
