I was given a copy of this audiobook for review.

Each of the narrators for each story was a different person. I was not expecting this, as prior audiobooks, I have listened to use one. This made the stories I believe far better to listen to. Each of these stories was worth the listen, I extremely enjoyed the first story. The collection of horror stories were well selected. If you are seeking for some good stories, this is the audiobook for you.

Great quick stories with some tension and drama. A nice mix of narrators to break them up as well.

Some stories were just too obvious and not as intriguing, others just the horror factor...some wher well flushed out and fascinating. Overall a good mix that kept me entertained.

A nice collection of stories. Some I really enjoyed and some not so much. While a few were very predictable, they were still enjoyable. I really enjoyed Fine Print, probably my favorite. Dead Spots and Numbered Days were also good reads.

Untold Mayhem is an anthology of short horror / creepy stories all written by the same author. As usual with anthologies I found the stories to be a mix of ones I loved and ones not so much. My particular favourites were In The Cards, Pillow Talk and Numbered Days. In The Cards was about a tarot card reader discovering something shocking about the person she was doing the reading for. This story had a crime thriller type vibe as well as a paranormal one. Pillow Talk was more of a suspense thriller which I can't say anymore about without spoiling the story. And Numbered Days was more of a gruesome, gory horror story and really satisfied my messed up brain ha ha... I really liked how there was a huge range of types of horror stories, from body horror to slasher to suspense etc And I loved how sometimes the twist wasn't revealed right until the last few seconds.
Unfortunately there were some stories that I didn't really like and some that we're just ok so that brought the whole book down to an average 3 stars.
I listened to this book as an audiobook and I really enjoyed that experience. I particularly liked how each story had a different narrator which helped me transition from story to story. Each story had it's own track so it was easy to go back and re-listen to the ones I loved to catch extra details.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a providing me with a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

A varied collection of horror, crime and suspense. I found that there was a real mix of stories in this book- some I really enjoyed, others didn’t really hit the mark. The ones I did enjoy, I liked the fact they really were short stories, quick and to the point while still being creepy. Although I can’t remember the names of the particular stories my favourites were the opening story with The Tarot Reader and the story about the dentist! Enough to give you nightmares! Gruesome and suspense filled!
The narration of this audiobook was mainly good, one or two questionable accents in one of the stories but apart from that I found the storytellers were great at creating the correct atmosphere fitting to each story.

This is a collection of horror short stories with a variety of themes.

As with most short stories collections, there are some stories I enjoyed, and others that didn’t manage to grab my attention. Some of the stories fell short and when they ended I felt like they didn't really finish, like it could have ended in the middle of the story almost. A few of the stories aren't really memorable but I guess that could just be personal preference.

Some of the stories were really interesting and creative, gripping from the start and very well thought out.

If you're a fan of horror, I recommend this book. There will be some stories in this collection that will reach out and grab you.
