Review

When a magician can convince a person - not a child, mind you, but a rational adult - that a trick is real magic instead of well-practiced sleight of hand, the result can be powerful. Inspiring the magic and joy of childhood in a grown up is one of the hardest things in the world to do, but as any creative type can tell you, it's one of the most satisfying to achieve. In that way, the horror genre has a lot in common with magic.

All of the stories in Sleepless Nights are unique and well crafted. No matter what you are afraid of, you are sure to find at least one story inside that will deliver on the promise of insomnia. But there is more to this collection of horror stories than interesting plots, creative monsters, and jarring twists - though this collection has all of that and more.

Wade's writing makes it easy to inhabit the characters telling these stories, and not a single one of them feels lazy. The voice of each story pulls you in, causing you to relate to people who make decisions you're sure you never would in situations you're sure you would never be in. But then you start to empathize, or you learn the full scope of a situation, and it makes you question yourself. Then you think back to situations you've been in, or that friends have been in, that are even marginally related to the story you are reading and you wonder...what if that actually happened?

These stories feel real, and some of them will leave you in a state of dreadful contemplation long after you've finished them. Even the most rational grown up will experience moments of intense belief where the horrors stop being stories. Every sound will break your concentration and send the hairs on your back standing in chilling attention. And there will be moments, however brief they may be, when you will fully believe...in the monsters, the stories, in all of it.
Inspiring the fear and belief of childhood is one of the hardest things in the world to do, but Sleepless Nights makes it seem easy.

Tobias Wade is not only a superb horror writer...he's also one hell of a magician.
Robert E. Nichols

Former neuroscience researcher, born again novelist. During my studies, it struck me as odd that I could learn so much about behavior without understanding the intricacies of human nature. I realized that I learned more about what it means to be human from reading stories than I ever had from my text books, and I was inspired to write.

I spent several years selling scripts in Los Angeles, but was ultimately frustrated with my lack of control over my projects. A general stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise my creative pursuits led me to starting my own publishing house to do things my own way.

I now work full time as a novelist and publisher, putting out a new book every month with Haunted House Publishing.

About Haunted House Publishing: We're passionate about publishing horror stories for adults, scary books for teens, and all sorts of dark fiction.

Amazing value for a great set of books

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

Love these books. I read 51 and 52 Sleepless Nights a while ago and was instantly hooked by the stories - they’re short, but effective. Many of them could easily be explored more and expanded into full length novels. I find myself constantly amazed by the creativity of Tobias Wade.

It’s not very clear, but this is actually a collection of 4 different books, each of which are a collection of several stories. I mostly got this to read 53 Sleepless Nights, which I couldn’t find a standalone copy anywhere, but the fact that it came with the other books is a nice surprise.

Here are some quick thoughts on the individual books:

* 51 was my favorite because it’s the most well rounded and interesting.
* 52 kind of loses a little bit of luster and isn’t as memorable, but it’s definitely worth a read.
* I’m about halfway through 53, but I would say it’s better than 52 so far. Still not as good as 51 (yet), but it’s another excellent entry in his Sleepless Nights series.
* Haven’t started the fourth book yet.

Overall - I love it. The stories are the perfect length. The best part is that it’s a phenomenal value. I paid $6 for the Kindle version, and I think that would’ve been a steal for even just one of the Sleepless Nights books, let alone all three of them plus a bonus book. Highly recommended for any fan of flash fiction.

The good and the bad...

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

Okay, so I love short stories. Primarily horror/suspense short stories. I’ve read 25 of the stories in this anthology so far and I’m impressed. I like the author’s writing style and I’d say that I like 95% of these stories so far. Some of these are seriously messed up but since it’s a horror anthology then it’s a-okay. My only criticism and it is a weird criticism—I don’t like that some of his stories are only 3-4 pages because I WANT MORE STORY!! I wish his stories weren’t quite so short, maybe more like 2-3 chapters would be better (about 50 pages). I’d just start getting into one story and think, “Wow this is seriously creepy...” then it’s over. If he went back and expanded on some of these stories into slightly longer short stories, I would totally read them. I will definitely check out some of his other works.

Not A Good Read

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020

The author really should engage an editor or else do a better job of proofreading and editing his stories. In this collection of short stories I found that two of them were repeats of themselves. One was a story about a plane crash survivor who cannibalizes her husband and returns to civilization. She is a school teacher who then proceeds to kidnap her elementary school students with the intention of eating them. This story appeared twice under two different titles. The second, a story about a teenage bully who first beats an autistic classmate but then tries to protect him from an abusive father by murdering him, had exactly the same story appended to it.

In addition there were numerous grammatical errors (disagreement of number and gender of nouns and verbs, incorrect usage of nominative and objective case pronouns, incorrect usage of words - the word "vicious" was used when it was obvious the word should have been "viscous."

All of the above faults should have been eliminated by better editing.

In addition, a large number of these stories (all told in the first person) either seemed to rely on the gimmick of not clarifying whether the story was about something supernatural or rather that the person telling the story was delusional and/or insane. Used occasionally, this might be an interesting twist but it was extremely overused. The alternative explanation is that the author was simply vague and ambiguous in telling the story. In either case, it was very dissatisfying.

I cannot recommend these stories as anything interesting to read.

If I wanted political opinions, I’d read a news magazine.

The first couple stories in this collection weren’t bad. More grammatical errors than I expected, but readable; and more “ugh” than really scary, but good horror is tough to write. But then the author’s political position became blatantly evident. It doesn’t matter who *I* voted for - I read fiction to escape the real world, not have it shoved down my throat. Thanks, but no, thanks.

Take a journey through the brilliantly creepy imagination of Tobias Wade...

...and you will find yourself engulfed in stories with twists to shock you, plots to chill you and plenty of downright scary fun. Be prepared to read until crazy o'clock in the wee hours when things go bump in the dark. Is there really something there? Or merely a lingering unease from the last tale you read. Just before you pull the covers over your head....

Does not disappoint

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

Wonderfully written. Everything is so well-described, it almost felt like I was the main character in each story! Makes you realize that some of the scariest monsters are those wearing human skin . . .

Honestly, the only negative thing I can really say about this book is that another editing pass or two wouldn't hurt. (Some words are repeated, others are homophones of the correct word, like waste/waist, and there's one story that somehow got spliced together with the one before it.) Overall though, great read!

I love short stories. I love scary short stories. This book didn't disappoint. Some of the stories start out sounding like some cute or some kind of mundane story. When you get to the end you stop and think wait, what? A lot of them got me like that. Some were funny and some were terrifying. Loved them. I'm glad I went with Amazon's suggestion based on my browsing history.
