All Kinds Of Things Kill
Today we’re releasing a short-story collection in its entirety: all nine episodes at once. The author, Robert R. Best, seems he’d rather have you figure out the concept of the book on your own, only describing it as “Nine-story horror anthology by Robert R. Best.”.
But he does give a bit more description on each of the episodes. So if you’re in the mood for horror, please enjoy All Kinds Of Things Kill.

I really enjoyed these stories, and Robert’s wife who reads them has a luxurious voice. My favorite stories are “Charity and the Vampire” and “The Family Tree” (which has the only “happy ending” of this series. This author’s first book out of the gate has some good stories and their first podcast is worth the listen.

the narration was great,and the stories were different, but the dialogue was two diminsional and flat.All of the stories read like a rough draft waitong for to be re-written several times over.

I just listened to this today. The stories were okay. I do feel as if they were rushed. I get the whole short story concept but these left me feeling like something was left out.
As far as the actual audio I was not impressed in the slightest. There is no need for all the sound affects. The “thinking sound” was a bit much. It sounded as if the narrator walked into a empty room and the sound reverberated off the walls. I know where they were trying to go with it but it just didn’t work. And the scribbling in the notebook and turning the pages was overkill and distracting.
The narrator needs to read a bit slower as well. Mainly in the first two stories. There was no feeling in the words and I felt like I was listening to a junior preschooler reading his book report. If you have to take a deep breath and swallow in the middle of a sentence clearly you did not pace yourself.
