Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building. As the only full-time employee at the 24 hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists.

Midnight. Some call it the witching hour. Others call it the devil’s hour. Here in the graveyard, midnight is a very special time. It is a time when ghostly spirits are at their strongest, when the veil between our world and theirs is at its thinnest. Legend has it, that while most of the world is asleep, the lack of prayers allow the spirits to communicate under the cover of darkness, among the headstones, their whispers rustling in the leaves of the old oak trees. But if you’re here in the graveyard, you can tell yourself it’s just the wind....

It is said that dreams are harmless, that they are nothing more than the meaningless fancies of an unconscious mind. It’s only a dream. It’s only a dream. It’s only a dream. This, of course, is something we tell ourselves when we wake up screaming in the dead of night. We repeat the mantra in order to bring ourselves back to reality, in order to remind ourselves that there is nothing to fear.

Publisher's Summary
Thriller, horror, and suspense short stories by multiple award-winning authors
A is for Addiction....
B is for Barnacles....
C is for Clairvoyance....
Discover the rest of these original horror stories from around the world. Each author chose a letter of the alphabet and was given complete artistic freedom to make something horrible happen. Some stories will be mysterious, others creepy or even profound, but all are crafted to thrill and terrify you to the last word.
This is what happens when dozens of uncensored creative people are allowed to mine the depths of the human psyche for the most depraved, twisted, horrible things imaginable.
Excerpt: "What it really meant was she was rotting away in a cage of her own flesh. The weight of her own body had crushed the flesh on her backside so that it had stopped circulating blood, had started to die. It meant that, after only twenty-six days of freedom, I had to go home and take care of her again. I came back to a familiar smell of piss and sweat and mold; but that was all mixed with a new taint, the sour and yet sickeningly-sweet smell of rotting flesh. She wasn’t in her usual chair. Instead, I found her collapsed on a mattress in a bedroom she hadn’t used for as long as I could remember, the springs creaking under her weight. She was dressed in a simple blue shirt, almost like a hospital gown, and lifting up the bottom edge, my eyes came level to where she was rotting." - "N Is for Necrosis"

Interesting idea, theme adds cohesiveness
First of all: "This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."
With that out of the way, let's talk about this book. The short stories in this book are all connected in a couple of ways. First of all, they are presented sequentially, with the title of each story starting with the next letter in the alphabet, A is for Addiction, B is for Barnacle, etc. They are also connected thematically, with many recurring elements throughout the stories, such as barnacles, doomsday cults, etc. I really liked the cohesiveness this lent to the work as a whole. While the writing style overall was excellent, I found that some of the stories just didn't hold my interest.
The narrator of this audiobook has a terrific voice for the genre of horror. His accent added an element of mystery to everything, and his voice was overall very pleasing. The emotional rawness of the tales was expressed nicely in his vocal tones, and he really helped to draw me in to those stories that grabbed me the most. Overall, a nice collection.

Alphabet Soup
This is an engaging collection of stories that will give you chills and make you think twice about many everyday things and happenings. Each story is connected to the others in its own way and we soon see so many evils in the world. Each letter gives you a different subject, yet they all intertwine and work well together. I enjoyed all the different subjects in these stories and how they connected. The stories are well written and give the listener much to think about. Narrator Paul Jenkins does a good job of bringing these stories to life and keeping the listener interested and engaged.

An Interesting Collection
In this collection there are twenty-six stories total. Some are good and some just miss the mark. The really cool part of this collection is the story arc. You'll notice how most of the stories are connected to another within the collection. It's really cool trying to make the connections, especially after listening to half of the stories. This is definitely a collection of horror, macabre, and downright weird but enjoyable nonetheless. The narration was well done and only added to the experience. If you are a horror fan then this collection is something you really need to pick up.

26 scary and creepy stories
Tobias Wade collects 26 somewhat intertwined horror stories, each based off their respective letters (M-Mirror, L-Lunar, etc). Some are creepier than others, but my favorite is probably C - Clairvoyance; which has a "seer" as our hero of the chapter. It is also the one that interacts the most with other chapters.
Paul Jenkins does a good job with voices, despite dealing with a roster of, I dunno, 50+ characters, none of which actually crossover between stories.

Mini episodes of black mirror
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
This book is made up of chapters A to Z, each with a story surrounding something beginning with each letter. Each chapter around 10 to 20 minutes long. Some of these reminded me of black mirror such as A for addiction. Some of these stories were boring, but most of them were good - I do recommend this book to anyone looking for some bedtime stories, as they are short enough to listen to each story in one session just before you sleep!
