Chilling Short Story Collection!

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022

I am not going to do a backstory like normal since all the stories within are short stories, but I will set out the story with a cryptic note.

1) Crowe’s Bed and Breakfast: Haunted bed and breakfast is not what it seems.

2) The Dog Tracker: A ghost girl has a bad temper when it comes to her dog.

3) The Treasure Hunter: When you rob the dead bad things will happen.

4) The Rosary: If something is buried in the wall, leave it alone.

5) Safety: A creature entity appears and it is not happy.

6) Shelter: Breaking into a house turns deadly.

7) The Shepherd: Be mindful of your neighbor as you do not know "what" they are.

8) The Shortcut: A man gets an education on how to be respectful in a cemetery.

9) The Ghost Hunters: A haunted house that inhabits more than ghosts.

Thoughts:

It has been long time since I have read stories by this author and it was great to be back in his world as these stories just pulled me straight into the horrors of his mind. All the short stories had some kind of twist but packed a powerful punch which kept me glued to my seat. Giving this book four "Spooks and Scares" stars!

Some creepy some gross

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022

I got this back in January for her YouTube and Instagram Winter ween. Now I've read it for spring fling o seen.

My favorites were Crowe's bed and breakfast the treasure hunter And the shepherd I gave those 5 stars. The rest I wasn't that thrilled about except for the shortcut and the ghost hunters I gave those 4 and 3 stars. The dog tracker there rosary safety and shelter I gave either or 2 or 1 star rating to. I just wasn't into those and didn't like them. Most of the people did not make it out of these stories alive.

Ron Ripley is Truly a Master of Horror Short Stories

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

Although Ron Ripley writes chilling multi-volume horror anthologies, he is at his best when writing short stories. He is able to scare the reader with a variety of beings in just a few short pages. You get a very brief backstory, scary happenings, rounded out with a terrifying ending with each story in this book. I throughly enjoyed being creeped out and spooked as I worked my way through this volume of short stories.

GHOST STORIES..NOT FOR THE WEAK🙀👍

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2017

Another great book. This one are little stories with some twists. Yes, they're Ghosts (never go out without one).

In a little comparation, from other Ripley's books...these had Ghosts Galore, Shapeshifter and all of them are: angry, mad, want vengeance, hate living things, feed, destroy and is one very deeply disturb people.

Do I like it? Heck Yeah🙀😻💕. Every little story more macabre, twisted, scary...

All characters without too much description (some do), let the reader know how Ripley's is mastered and mix different genres.

All so well written, even the tiniest story. I really recommend to every fan of Ripley's and good readings with ghosts, mystery, ect..not to let this book pass by, to buy and enjoy a few hours 🙀

I support Indie authors, they make an interesting twist on writing. The Publishers Houses had to be following more of them because they're are writing incredible stories.

I'm very honest with my Reviews, not only for me, the author or other readers, how an author know when did something good or need improvement?

How another reader believe in my review? If I didn't read the book, I don't Review. If the book is good, Review. If the book isn't good, Review.

With that we all benefit, readers, authors & readers searching for something new or special.

My opinions are my own. You can find me at Amazon under: MASTERI

Heart Pounding Terror

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2016

I loved listening to ghost stories as a kid. The older I got the scarier I wanted them to be. This book was awesomely scary. There are eight tales in the book. Usually I can pick out my favorite story and my least favorite. This time, though, I can't choose a favorite and I have no least favorite. All of the stories are creepy. They each turn into heart pounding, heavy breathing, scream stuck in the throat, terror. There aren't any truly gory scenes. These are the type of stories that engage the mind. You are in the moment with the characters. They hear creaking and you look around. In the words of Alice Cooper, "Welcome to my nightmare. I think you're going to like it."

Good ghost stories

I was not familiar with Ron Ripley until I read the Berley Street Series. This set of short stores did not disappoint me. I found them entertaining. Unlike the Berley Street Series, the ghosts always win. There are a couple of the stories that I would not classify as ghost stories, but fit the agenda of the book. It is short in length and a quick read.

Ghosts are wonderful delights to have as. Your guests . This was one fine. Collection from children that take delight in destruction to others that discover that some. Things and places are simply. Better left alone.
I have no trouble giving this book the five stars that I have. I loved this and seriously suggest you take the time to do the same. Ron has not let anyone down with this collection.
