Addiction starts like a sweet lullaby sung by a trusted loved one. It washes away the pains of the day and wraps you in the warmness of the womb where nothing hurts and every dream is possible. Yet soon enough, this warm state of bliss becomes a cold shiver, the ecstasy and dreams become nightmares, yet we can't stop listening to the lullaby. We crave to hear the siren song as it rips us apart.

A powerful list of talent has woven tales featuring the insidious nature of addiction - damaged humans craving for highs and wholeness but finding something more tragic and horrific on the other side. You're invited to listen to these Lullabies for Suffering.

beautiful collection, emotional and dreadful

This collection of short horror stories was truly phenomenal! The lineup of authors is amazing and I knew I was going to love every story. These novellas and novelettes revolve all around addiction, where the protagonists have an encounter with addiction, either directly or indirectly. The stories are very original and great examples of horror, adding to the dread of the theme itself.

The narration by Linda Jones was perfection and I’m glad I listened to the audiobook as I felt a deeper connection with the protagonists.

I was surprised by how heartbreaking and emotional these stories were and although horrific, I was also very impressed by how delicately the theme of addiction was approached.

I truly loved this collection and I wish I could listen to it again for the first time. I cannot lie. I cried with some of the stories and it felt good! I highly recommend it!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.
