About this listen

Immortal. Undying. The Conservator of Horror…

Hidden within dusty shelves are tomes made of human flesh, Blood-soaked pages reveal tales once thought to be lost but now revealed for the first time by The Conservator. He spent decades collecting and preserving forgotten lore. Now, he’s decided to unveil three of the best legends culled from the darkness. The tone is set with John Durgin’s "Blank Space", a vicious story that introduces Helen Crowe, an entity not easily forgotten. Jay Bower’s "Eyebiters Revenge" follows a group of friends hoping to invoke the spirits of the dead in an abandoned school, only to find something even more sinister. The Conservator ends with John Lynch’s brutal tale, "Expiration of Sentence". The darkness of a prison hides a horrific evil where no one is safe.

Bringing together three nightmares for a special collection, The Conservator awaits your presence.

Enjoyable collection of short horror stories!

I had the opportunity to listen to this collection as an audiobook, thanks to the authors and following my honest thoughts.
I enjoyed the narration from R. Douglas Patten which scared me more than once when changing voices abruptly.

This is a short story collection with three stories generously given to us by the Conservator, a collector of tomes of terror (I loved this premise!). Each story winks at old school horror with a great balance of suspense, scare jump and gore. I particularly enjoyed the first two stories, whilst I found the last one a bit draggy and very slow, with everything happening all at once at the end, leaving me a bit unsatisfied.

The three stories are all different takes on the evil lurking wherever you don't expect, with nail biting moments that had me cheering for the characters as I listened.
I'd love for the Collector to release more short horror stories as this was a very enjoyable listen!
