How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

3.0 out of 5 starsGood mindless reading
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2022
The stories in this complication have good ideas behind them, but they don't feel like actual stories. They read like story outlines before being fleshed out. There are jumps in them that are supposed to be stylistic but which are merely confusing or annoying. As an example, the hero is cradling his girlfriend in his arms. Suddenly he is walking to investigate noises in the front of the cabin carrying a rifle. There aren't the necessary steps to provide proper flow. It is as if he wants to jump to the end without fleshing out the middle.

Another annoyance is the lack of proper grammar. Punctuation serves a purpose. If you are going to try to express thoughts to others, the use of punctuation to make those thoughts clear is relevant and a necessary skill.

I respect people who are trying to work at a craft. I understand that they are participating in online workshops. But unless they are working with already successful writers they aren't getting adequate guidance. Unless they are willing to put in the work with serious study of grammar they aren't ready. Unless they are willing to hire professional editors they aren't ready. Not everyone who wants to be an author is an author. Most should be writing more and more and more works before offering them for sale. I would have liked to see these outlines when they have made it into true story form, because I think there is potential there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong recommendation for horror fans.

Evening everyone Don P here with a review of Library of Nightmares an anthology written by Ray Scrivener. Here we have 15 stories wrapped up in a fitting book cover all filled with nightmarish tales of betrayal, loss, unnatural greed and hopelessness. From monsters to serial killers, no one is safe from Ray's pen with clear and ominous descriptions of terror. One of my favorite stories is the exoplanet where the story takes you far into the depths of space and deep into the pit of humanity.

To anyone who wishes to read this book, strap in because you're in for thrilling tales and as the title says, Nightmares.

After reading some not-so-stellar horror shorts this was an absolute delight. The stories are tightly written and imaginative, none of them are of the same theme. I would gladly read a full-length novel by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Truly Creepy Tales!

Bravo!! I loved every story in this book, but I REALLY got a huge laugh from the final tale, "The End." It made me wonder if it was possible that an authors characters COULD come to life and get their revenge. If so, then a lot of writers are in for a BIG surprise!!!
Keep writing, Ray Scrivener, and I will keep reading!!!☺👏
Also, I really liked the artwork... Did you do them yourself?

This collection has had me coming back for "just one more" chapter all day. The author uses such vivid imagery without overdoing it. They are really unique plots too, compared to most horror these days. Each story is the perfect length for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful torment lie waiting for the readers of these stories

Thank you Mr. Ray Scrivener for this collection of some truly scary stories. I know everyone wants to know which is the best, but what tickles my fear meter may mean nothing to you and vice versa, so I can’t say. From my perspective some that I read at night, I do wish I had not and others were just as frightful during the day. But there were no stories I could put down once I had started them. Thank you again for the nightmares and the constant need to be looking over my shoulder during the daylight hours.

These were fun stories to read and I can definitely see a few of them being developed into their own books. My favorite was probably the last one.
