A mixed bag but none of the stories was truly terrible. The major problem with most was they would have benefited from being a bit longer.

Some really good stories let down by endings that felt rushed and very inconclusive, potentially due to the short story format, although I've enjoyed many short story collections previously.
I loved Rosabelle, Believe by Amanda Hard.

Analog and auditory horror at it's finest. All these stories explore the darker aspects of what we hear or think we hear upon the invisible airwaves that surround our everyday life. From forbidden radio stations, lost songs, and even the sounds of the dead, the talent and variety of the writers of this collection will have you double taking at every strange sound you hear from here on out.

Another great offering from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. This one is a themed anthology with the connecting factor being creepy signals... random radio waves, creepy messages from who-knows-where, numbers stations, even strange glimpses from parallel alternate versions of one's own life. All these and more are here to entertain you, to freak you out, and often to make your jaw just drop in amazement. Lots of great stories here from great authors. Everything here is pretty much top-notch, but my short list of favorites includes Matthew M. Bartlett's If He Summons His Herd, Josh Malerman's The Givens Sensor Board, Michael Paul Gonzalez's How the Light Gets In, Dyer Wilk's The Man in Room 603, John C. Foster's Armageddon Baby, Paul Michael Anderson's All That You Leave Behind, and one of the freakiest stories EVER, Gabino Iglesias's The Last Scream. I'm not even kidding, I totally screamed!
Long story short: this is a great collection and you should have already picked it up and checked it out, so stop wasting your life.

I was honestly a bit disappointed by this book. I was really excited to read these stories, as I love horror stories with white noise and the like. But...its a real hit or miss. Few stories are great, others are meh, and still others are just plain dumb or boring.
I think it'll really depend on your personal taste. Some people seem to really enjoy these stories, and I'm glad they could. But I didnt much care for this anthology in the end.
