A review by menniemenace
Untold Mayhem by Mark Tullius

Audiobook provided via Netgalley**
This was a very gory book. I'm writing this review after a bunch of terrible nightmares, so I guess the book is solid on the horror front.
Some stories were pretty clever, but others were predictable or had bad plot-twists. My main problem was having quite a few stories depicting mentally challenged people as criminals or fakers. The story "Counting on It" made me feel very unsettled. It reinforces a bad concept/belief. I'm solidly sure it wasn't meant to be hurtful but I guess having more than one story with the same concept made me notice.
Overall, this was a fun, albeit very gory, story collection.
The audio is played by a full cast, which really makes the listener feel like he's reading a whole new thing. It was pretty fun.
