The Box Under the Bed is an anthology of twenty stories. Not all the stories are scary. You get a mixed bag here. Still, most of them are good.
A “horror” anthology (and I do use that designation lightly) containing the following stories: ***WARNING*** SPOILERS MAY BE CONTAINED IN THE FOLLOWINGPrologue, The Box Under the Bed part oneSummary:Two sisters, Tanya and Eileen, have the unwelcomed task of cleaning up their grandparents’ old house and ready it for sale. In the midst of her work, Tanya discovers some odd treasures under Grandpa’s bed.What I liked:A stylistic opening to an anthology. What could all those trinkets mean? Nice atmos...
Easy,enjoyable,night time reading.
Something differentChose the book because of the cover and wasn't sure what to expect. Some stories are very brief and I wasn't sure what to make of them but enjoyed them. Anyone who enjoys tales of a different type should like these.
I started this collection at midnight on October 1st and it made for great holiday reading. Not all the stories are “scary” (as per the subtitle) but they are of various styles -- poetic and scary; touching and chilling; adventurous and frightening; vengeful and historical -- so something for just about everyone. Most are very well-written with great endings, though there are a few that are obviously first chapters of books; however, one of the latter stands on its own very well. This is not my
‘Mixed among the cicada clatter, the tower echoed with the faint sounds of a woman laughing.’ Author and humorist Dan Alatorre became a first-time dad at the age of 47 - a daughter by the name of Savvy. His comedic debut book "Savvy Stories" tells humorous tales about a loving dad who sees the magic in children, and isn't a bumbling stooge about changing diapers like some TV sitcom. Dan was born in Ohio, and graduated from the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida before earning an MBA f...
I listened to the audio book of The Box Under the Bed and right up front I must say that I really enjoyed the narrator, Lia Frederick. Her voice and style of reading really complimented this book.The Box Under the Bed is an anthology of creepy, unusual and sometimes quite horrifying stories. This anthology was edited by author Dan Alatorre and his professionalism and talent shows through in this polished and slick collection of short stories. I enjoyed each story but my personal favourites were
The Box Under the Bed is easy reading, but worth it. 4.5 starsI won't bore you with reviews of each story. I guess it would ruin the fun of new, short stories. Some ghost stories and some supernatural surprises, but mostly ordinary stories of ordinary people recognising some new truth. I enjoyed this group of stories and think you will too.
Pretty good storiesThis book had some pretty good stories in it. There were a few that didn't really move or interest me but, the morjorty did for the most part. It made me want to find more books like it.
Missing endingsThe stories were good but a few were missing the endings in the digital copy i got. So that was a bummer
Pretty darn good!I enjoyed at least 95% of these stories. If you're looking for a quick read, check this book out! I think you'll like it.
