Each episode Serial Box creation was written by a different horror writer, but it was done seamlessly, with superb writing. I looked forward to listening to the episodes as they were published each week. The two narrators did a great job and the sound effects really added to the experience.

I have been keen for sometime to read Keene, but have never gotten around to it. And we all know my bookworm heart beats fast for Kozeniewski. So, when this title came across my inbox I was eager to check it out.
This is a story that combines both primal violence and otherworldly phenomenon. An X-Files tale on steroids that there is no coming back from. If you like stories about the darkness that creeps under our moral humanity then you have found your bedtime fairy-tale.
The story has four authors who seamlessly weave their tales together. Each chapter is written by a different author, but you can't tell because they have melded their voices as one.
The story felt like a movie as you follow the characters individual journeys. The level of detail paints a vivid picture, a picture that contains much gore and mayhem. However, even with the horror that unfolds on each page, the authors still are able to bring a level of humor to the scenes. I think my favorite involves a character named Devin, who is surrounded by terror and chaos, but tries to maintain an air of professionalism as bodies hit the ground. It tickled my gooey insides.
It was a well crafted story by some of the best horror writers currently alive. If you are interested in reading more or listening to the episodes, check out the first episode/chapter on Serial Box. You can listen to the first episode for free.
