Wakeful Children: A Collection of Horror and Supernatural Tales.
Wakeful Children is a collection of imaginative, inventive short horror stories and tales of dark fiction. You, the reader, will unwittingly witness the twisted brutality of Joe Gallows; the weird dreamscape of The Sandman; the ice-cold grasp of The Face of the Gale; the elemental horror of an ancient, evil entity in Devil's Drop. In Absorption, you will visit residents of a darkly troubled street, watched over by a beautiful, malignant presence all the while.
These and other tales make Wakeful Children an unusual, compelling, refreshingly different read in this genre, as well as an impressive debut. One that will leave you thinking of it long after you have turned the last page.

Wakeful Children by S. P. Oldham is a great haunted horror. Kevin Redson did a great job with the narration. The story is horrifying, thrilling, scary, well written, and more.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is such a lovely collection of stories! These are not your typical trope of spooky story designed to give a cheap fright. They are so much more than that. The writing is original, compelling, heartfelt, and has substance, like true storytelling. The narrator was perfect, he executed the stories with a wonderful natural voice, easily slipping in and out of regional accents, enhancing the stories just enough but without you thinking for a second that he is actually ‘performing’. The Orchard was my favourite tale, and one that I know I’ll be re-listening to many times. Thank you for such a wonderful collection, I am looking forward to listening to all of your other stories!

Wonderful writing, and engrossing narration of stories that provoke a sense of awe, and unease.
How the short stories end is their conclusion.. Don't look further. If they are unexplainable, then that's the mystery of life. There isn't a second chapter.
You wish there's more.. There isn't.
