    5.0 out of 5 stars Unique stories to creep you out
    Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I absolutely adored this collection and highly recommend it to anyone who loves scary stories. The stories were so unique and will stay with me a long time. Alley has a great writing style and taps into the human condition, understanding what we feel and what we fear, creating characters we can connect with and root for. All the stories were great but my personal favorites were "The Corpse Walker", "Group 3", and "Funny Kittens". Definitely looking forward to reading more from this author.

    This was an entertaining read! I believe it was a free title on Amazon when I picked it up, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun and how interesting each story was. It even game me moments when I had to pause to look up stuff on the folklore behind some of the creatures in a few of the stories. I would definitely read more by this author in the future.

    4.5 rounded up to 5. This was an excellent collection of short stories! Some of the imagery creeped me out (especially The Bloody Beast and Keep Them Down). I love how varied the stories were and they were all very different making for an enjoyable read all the way through. This was my first read from Alley and I’ll definitely be checking out more of his work! I recommend this to anyone that enjoys well-written horror.

    These were fun stories to read, with engaging horror plot lines. There was a few mistakes, which is why I couldn't give it the full 5, but the stories themselves were solid. There was a lot of indenting/formatting issues which were a bit distracting.

    I truly like horror and this collection filled that gap. I liked the flow of each story and the individuality that each story held. There was a lot of every horror element for everyone. If you are looking for a collection of horror stories and want a fast read, Alley will certainly give you that in Ash and Bone.

    And I was pleasantly surprised! I've never been much of a fan of monster tales, but oh my God, this collection! Every story left my on the edge of seat, some left me with a few questions but not in a bad way. Plain and simple, if you want to read a wonderfully executed story about something that goes bump in the night, this is the collection for you.

    I've read a few of these short story books and found one basic fact. .Most of them are weak and perhaps contain a few good tales. This was no exception, two or three were just ok.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Diverse collection of thoughtful terror
    Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2022
    I genuinely enjoyed this collection. The stories are an assortment, but some common elements are the humor, the regional writing, and the character development...character development that makes me actually care about the characters--not the easiest feat to accomplish in a short story. At times his writing reminded me of Michael Farris Smith, Nic Pizzolato, and the early seasons of The Walking Dead (remember when that show was awesome?!?...seems like a lifetime ago). But in fairness, he has his own voice that comes through in all of these shorts, even as he distinguishes different narrators and characters.
    Really, really good. Oh, and the audiobook is legit. Great narrator and great formatting (which shouldn't be a big deal but it often is in the world of Audible).

    I enjoyed the writing and the spooky tone Mr.Alley was able to create. It’s hard to find good stories that don’t rely on gore and over the top violence to enable a scare. It was a good read.

    Collection of short stories. A mixture of macabre, dark, depressing and gore. Some stories worthy of publication, others not so much. Personal choice which you enjoy.
