This is a collection of six dark tales by J.Z. Foster, Lori Foster (writing as L.L. Foster) and Justin M. Woodward.
“Stories are only good if there’s someone to hear them.” Four teenagers head out to the woods with candles, under the full moon, to investigate the legend of the Hanged Man. They say he is bound by the neck and strung to his tree, waiting for ears to listen, for he has stories to tell.
My favorites in this collection include:
The Picture by J.Z. Foster. Megan and Nick leave the stress of the city behind to do a little hiking and relax at a small B & B. There are lots of opportunities for Megan to indulge her love of photography but things are not what they seem here.
The Skin Beneath by L.L. Foster. Peter has helped Mina escape from some kind of asylum. When they are caught in a trap set by two men who are up to nothing good, we get a better idea of who Mina really is.
Little Yellow Box by Justin M. Woodward. When Tobias was a kid his dad found a mysterious yellow box on a job site and brought it home to Tobias. It disappeared after his dad passed. Years later, Tobias and his girlfriend run across an identical yellow box…
This is a solid collection of stories that will definitely get you in the Halloween spirit. Highly recommended!
Excellent quick read. Great worlds.
The book begins in a town with a creepy legend of The Hanged Man. A group of teens goes into the woods to investigate and test the legend. The “stories” of The Hanged Man are then told as short stories on multiple subjects. My favorite of the stories was Cold Sleep. The monster in that tale truly creeped me out! I could relate to the story as a child in fear of the dark or shadows in the room. All of the stories are well written and entertaining. I really liked how the book begins with the teens searching for the legend and ends with the outcome of their search while incorporating the individual tales in between. It worked well. JZ has penned a fantastic adventure and you won’t be disappointed.
Theses stories Remind me of being a child sitting around a fire telling ghost stories…Thinking I’d read one short story to fall asleep to, I ended up staying awake until 4 o’clock in the morning reading this book LOL I highly recommend it
PS. JZ having a book out with his mom has got to be one the best moments a mother could have!
All of the stories are GOOD! My favorite was Cold Sleep. You see, I can relate to the terror all too well. This. Was. My. Childhood. I was terrified that I would be taken in my sleep. That my foot might cross that secret line that made me fair game for the monsters. Soooo well written and it brought back that childhood fear that nobody would listen to me. Grandma Rocks! I love the format. It reminds me of the old Tales from the Crypt comic I devoured as a child. That’s probably why I was convinced that the monsters would get me…. hmmm. You won’t be disappointed. This is one you will turn to again and again!
If your looking for a mix between scary stories and Are You Afraid of the Dark then this is the Anthology to read. Amazing short stories that will take your breath away and yet continue to make you think of what is going to happen next J.Z. Foster L.L. Foster and Justin Woodward has taken this to the next level! Is the hanged man really real or is it just a story to scare the children to stay out of the woods at night?
This is a fantastic collection of stories! I love, love, love how it doesn’t originally come off as really scary, but it stays with you and the more you think about it, the scarier it gets! Each one of these are very well written, easy to read, and completely original. Absolutely fantastic read, thank you for the opportunity to review these gems!
I enjoyed this book. It starts out with the Prologue, which is the first half of the first story. The idea is that these stories are told by the Hanged Man (in the prologue) to the kids listening. The other stories follow, and the book is closed by the end of the first story.
The first of the short stories framed by The Hanged Man is written by JZ Foster. It is frightening rather than spooky. Then comes one written by LL Foster. This one is my favorite. Mina Hanson has been committed to an asylum by her family because they cannot deal with her. After ten years, when she turns 19, Peter Grogan is assigned to become her handler. The story begins as they are fleeing the asylum. During the course of the night, Mina learns that she is not a monster, after all.
JZ Foster brings us a frightening tale of a travelling salesman, Abe Gaylord. Like a lot of us, he is having trouble adjusting to the age of ecommerce.
All of the stories are frightening, but they have an interesting twist. I think you will enjoy this one.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.
Awesome short stories! I absolutely loved reading this book!
As promised this book just delights with wonderful short stories, alas they are to short with each one leaving me wanting more. I have missed the stories from L.L. Foster having enjoyed her Servant series very much and she did not disappoint with “The Skin Beneath”. This was my first time reading Justin M Woodward and I found his story “Little Yellow Box” very intriguing I will definitely be reading more of his books and J.Z. Foster still is my favorite horror author. I find his writing style to be unique and a bit quirky and his stories are always a great read. I look forward to his next book.
