Thank you to netgalley and the author for the review copy of this audiobook!

This book was a collection of stories. There were some I enjoyed more than others but even with that being said, all the stories were great! I loved the horror concept of each one. I don't normally do collections in one book but this one was great!

I highly recommend this read!

Horrific tales, unexpected twists, dark situations, unexplained mysteries, and disturbing conclusions. Mark Tullius compiles 24 terrifyingly unsettling short stories for horror lovers - just make sure you leave the lights on when listening to them!

I absolutely LOVED this audiobook! I'm a big fan of horror stories and these 24 short stories are perfectly written and hauntingly delivered. by the various narrators. The tales make you feel like you're sitting around a campfire - all of them twisted, creepy and often very violent.

There were none of the 24 stories that I didn't enjoy; all of them had a great pace, good character development and intriguing narratives. There were a variety of different narrators - all of which well spoken, suspenseful and creepy enough to convey the perfect tone for each of the tales. Mark Tullius is great at jumping straight into the action, while not missing any opportunity to deliver a strong story with a even stronger resolve at the end of it.

My favourite stories within the anthology were:
- 'Pillow Talk' - a young artist and his date, charming her all the way to his bedroom where his art really speaks for itself.
- 'The Feelings Back' - all relationships face difficulties, but are some issues irreparable or can new feelings create new solutions?
- 'Left Unfinished' - every authors nightmare, a book with a character they just can't seem to get right - especially when the deadline is running out.

I can't recommend this highly enough - grab it in just in time for Halloween and have a spooktacular time!

Thanks to NetGalley and Vincere Press for my advanced audio copy! 💕

I didn't really enjoy this collection at all - neither the stories nor the narrators. The stories felt like they were shopping lists recited, with no soul or atmosphere. I feel the intention was to recreate Ray Bradbury and other masters of the absurd but sadly it fell flat for me.

⭐ 4 There are some real gems in here Stars ⭐️

Books like this are why I love short horror stories! Mark Tullius has a wild imagination and I enjoyed his 'show, don't tell' approach and following the clues to each story's conclusion.

Of course, a few of them didn't appeal to me but the one's that were good were 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 good.

💋 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 - is Mr. Charming too good to be true?
📽 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 - a reporter who will stop at nothing to get the scoop.
🏜 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙚𝙙 - a wicked revenge story.
And the final story.....
📜 𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 - was so fun and just such a great way to close out the book!!

My first horror audiobook!! and the narrators were good. I was glad there was a range of voices so the stories never felt repetitive.

Thank you NetGalley for the copy of this book.

Untold Mayhem is a book with different horror stories each with a different narrator. Some more gruesome than others. Mark Tullius does a great job at keeping the reader intent on staying with the story until the end. Some stories were better than the others only because some of them were a little predictable. I love horror stories and these did not disappoint at all. The writer does an amazing job at keeping the suspense until the end of each one. I do think these stories would be great for high schoolers.

Thank you netgalley as well as the author/publisher for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

These short stories had various narrators and I found some easier to listen to than others but I felt that they all did a good job. My favourite stories were the Season, Pillow Talk and Numbered Days. I didn't like Gone for Good and The mirror as I felt that they were trite and quite predictable.
They were each quite gruesome in their way and had the effect of making you feel a little uneasy. If you were looking for some nice short Halloween stories then you definitely should read/listen to these.
Warning: these are adult tales and some have graphic depictions of rape, murder, suicide and other atrocities.

Just ok. I think I expected more from this group so I was disappointed. There wasn't anything 'bad' about it, but there wasn't anything great either. I could take it or leave it.

This audiobook was a good collection of stories that are perfect for Halloween. They range from believable to fantastical but were well done. There were a couple that were more gruesome than I expected but overall, this collection was more clever in its inferences than the outright statements of what was happening. I think the one that struck me most by surprise was The Season, narrated by Landon Woodson. That was well done in both chilling nature of the topic and how it was narrated. It will stick with me.
The other narrators were a good match for their respective stories as well. They all did a great job and kept me listening. My other favorite is Chris Andrew Ciulla whose voice is wonderful for audiobooks and I adore listening to his work. The story Numbered Days was read by Michael David Axtell and my only criticism of this one is that I wanted more information about the backstory leading to this current situation.

I LoveLOVED this shory story collection by Mark Tullius. I listened to it as a recorded book, and the narrators were all appropriate for the stories they read. Very talented group! It's is difficult to end a short story, and the author didn't miss a beat; every story was solid. I'm not sure how appropriate it all is for my 9th and 10 graders, but the 11th and 12th graders will devour it. (And if the youngers want to read it, then let them; it's quality storytelling.)

I think because it isn't my usual fare, I really enjoyed the twists, turns, surprises, and unnerving gore.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Glad I experienced this book as an audiobook. There were a few standout stories that really got the hairs on the back of my neck standing up but the majority of them were just clever. About a 3.5 rating. I enjoyed it and would read more anthologies of this nature.

Exceptional for a select few stories, the book didn't leave much of an impact. It was a long book with not so scary horror stories. Special mention to the narrators for doing a great job though. I really liked the one with college shooting, one with the scary house monster.

After being really excited to have been given the opportunity to read this book I was quite disappointed with it. There was unexpected gore and although I am not apposed to bad language within a book I felt it was there just for the sake of it. After quite enjoying the first two stories it really stopped holding my attention. and 55% through listening to it I realised that could not tell anyone what most of the previous stories were about. I did wonder if the printed version may hold my attention more but there would still be the gore and unexpected language.

I would like to thank the publisher for the opportunity to listen to this book but it just wasn’t for me.

I love short story books/audiobooks and this book was no exception. At the point of writing this review I currently only have a few short stories left and have not been disappointed. I have not once guessed the outcome of any of the stories and have found myself freaked out a few times by the thoughts and plots authors can come up with. I personally think this would be better as a physial book (however not crutial as narrator's voices are creepy too!) as I find I get more creeped out reading rather than audiobook. However overall very clever and creepy.

Thank you NetGalley for this audiobook! I thought overall the voice acting was really great throughout the stories. I liked how there were a lot of different voice actors versus just one or two reading all of the stories. It made it more dynamic and intriguing to listen to. Some of the stories were really creepy and enjoyable. Others were just meh. Overall I enjoyed the short stories and some still stick out in my mind. 3.5 stars rounded down to 3.

Delicious and naughty.

These stories remind me of Sudden fiction, stories that happen in about a page because they jump right in and own you.

These are fabulous stories. They are fun and naughty and dangerous.

I was curious how short stories would work as audio books. The answer is they are fabulous.

Firstly I want to thank Netgalley for allowing me to read/listen to this book.

It is a very rare thing for a collection of stories to score higher than 4 stars as there is usually a weaker story that lets it down, but I genuinely liked every story in this 24 story horror collection. I wouldn't go so far as to say I enjoyed every story, as some really lived up to the tagline 'An Assortment of Violence', but each was well written and intriguing. Mark Tullius definitely has a gift for the macabre, finding it in even the most innocent of places.

The choice of an assortment of narrators was a fantastic choice, especially with the dark tone throughout, hearing a different voice at the start of each story helped by adding new energy to the listening experience.

The stories that I particularly loved were:
In the Cards: This was a solid intro into the book, letting you know exactly what to expect.
The Hole: This story gave me serious goosebumps vibes, and I loved it!
Exposed: Exposed kept me guessing throughout, which is impressive in a 14-minute format.
No Service: This was a brilliant story that I kept thinking about after.
The Season: I loved how this was unwrapped to the reader.
Dead Spot: This particular story gave me CSI vibes, which is a favourite T.V show of mine.

Alongside violence against men and women, some stories contain terms that could be considered (or are outright) fatphobic, racist, and misrepresentative of mental health. Whilst they work within the confines of the stories, a warning should be in order if any of the above makes you severely uncomfortable.

Overall I will definitely look to pick up something by Mark Tullius again in the future.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This audiobook was fantastic. Just the right amount of gore and creepy factor. I enjoyed the narrators of this audiobook and felt they gave the appropriate amount of life to the stories. These tales were just the right amount of length to listen to. Keeping the attention of the listener without dragging out the story. I do want to point out that some of the stories could’ve been longer because I was completely engaged.

Crime, horror, gore, underhandedness etc is encased in these 24 stories.

I was given an advanced audio copy of this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This is a must listen to for any horror fan!

Happy reading!

This was a fun collection of spooky stories. Good narrator, good stories. Definitely would recommend. Not overly scary but spooky fun!

I’m not usually a fan of short stories but I really enjoyed these!
Dark, violent and perfectly written so you don’t feel like you are missing anything with them being only a few pages long. As a set of short stories you probably won’t like them all (I liked some more than others) but the way they kept you guessing was great and karma definitely is a bitch! 😂😂
This is a multiple cast of narrators and all were great and added to the story, really enjoyed listening to all.. I’d love to read more from this author.

It was quite scary and different New style for me Not the sort of thing I would usually choose to listen to but I enjoyed listening to something new.
