About this audiobook
"Abnormal Statistics takes us on a desolate walking tour of the everyday American nightmare. Come see what’s happening behind the closed doors and shuttered windows of your neighbors, your best friends, the people you trust most. Bleak and bloody horror that’s as raw and immediate as a pile of yellowed teeth, roots and all."
—Trevor Henderson, creator of Siren Head
"A tightly written and devastating collection. Abnormal Statistics grabs the reader by the throat with each tale, from the stellar opener 'Indiana Death Song' to the harrowing 'Video Nasties.' Throughout the collection, Booth performs a sort of emotional autopsy that's impossible to look away from, even as we're handed our own viscera to hold. Horror, sorrow, fury and dark humor are woven throughout with an expert hand, and by the end, it hurt more of my feelings than I ever knew I possessed."
—Laurel Hightower, author of Crossroads and Below

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed most all of these shorts, but I feel like some ended kind of abruptly. Also if you're expecting them to be mostly supernatural, they aren't.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.75 - creepy and unsettling, at times fully disturbing and nauseating. An interesting mix of stories, kind of like turning over a rock to look at what creatures are underneath but instead of it being the regular creepy crawlies and dirt you’re staring the innards of something strange, disgusting and quietly horrifying.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a series of punches in the face as you read each short story. It was fantastic and I’m off to find other books by this author.
