Customer Reviews

Very entertaining, not particularly scary

Doyle's writing is excellent and the stories were a very enjoyable read. However, they didn't really seem frightening.

Good Tales Indeed

Tales of Unease has short stories of variable quality, but Doyle holds your attention with every one. Some stand out with a twist ending. The best one, in my opinion, is Lot 249. Read this at night with all the house lights out except your reading lamp. It might raise the hair on the back of your neck a little.
