Editorial Reviews

Review

"★★★★★ Speculative fiction ranks among my favorite genres to read, and Schrader does a phenomenal job with these stories. Every single piece is an enjoyable read, something that's not always the case in short story collections. They are creepy, fun, and thought-provoking. Well done, Mr. Schrader." -- Roxie Writes

5.0 out of 5 stars strange and wonderfull, a fantastic collection
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018

as an avid fan of the uncanny, I was pleased with What Goes On In The Walls At Night from the very start! each story is detailed and planned with effort, all of them fantastic and shocking in their own ways. some stories were wonderfully intence and twisted such as the big feel. while others carried important messages about humanity, such as the developer. if you are like me, and have a taste for the disturbing and the strange, I would strongly recomend What Goes On In The Walls At Night.

These short stories were all scary in their own way but they all will definitely make you think. With this author's imagination we will be seeing more books from him.

You know those thoughts you have that would sound crazy if verbalized? Or the ones that always pull at you no matter how hard you silence them? But you know, too, that there's some sense hidden among the horror? Then pry into the walls at night and let them loose, and experience through Andrew Schrader's pen the weird parts of life stretched to their logical extremes. But reader be warned: you may never look at your friendly TSA agent or your favorite bird species or our treasured national past times the same way again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool but it dragged a little

Some of the stories were cool especially the last one and the reveal at the end.. others were just ok for me. I know they were supposed to connect but frankly I’ve forgotten most of them already.. that’s how I know it just didn’t all work for me.

Loved this read. I read this earlier in the year, and many of the stories still linger with me, like a good short story should. My favorite one, “The Sewers Are Angry!” delivered on the book's promise: a tale of disgust and delight. That said, each tale has it's own way of beckoning an exploration of disquiet and wonder. Thematically and tonally, What Goes on in the Walls at Night is right up my alley.

The story of the boy who ate rocks was slightly amusing, but the rest of the stories were crap. And really, calling the Duke a "relentless racist"? John Wayne was bad ass, so screw you Andrew Schrader. And by the way, "All We Did Was Live" sucked.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inventive and imaginative
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2019
Stories incorporating a broad mixture of the bizarre, the fantastic, the grotesque, and the ghostly. There’s a cosy feel to this collection, where the tales are spun by a man haunted by the stories relayed to him by disquieting voices he once heard behind the walls. As the book progresses he recounts every word, unveiling a selection of fantastical and incomprehensible yarns. This is a nice tactic by the author, creating a firm underpinning for the collection. The tales themselves are connected by inventiveness. The author is obviously an ideas person, demonstrated by the level of attention to crafting an individual style that suits each story. Taken together, this is very entertaining stuff, fresh enough to transcend its knowing leaning towards horror and fantastic fiction paperbacks of a nostalgic heyday. A well crafted collection that harks back to the best of supernatural and speculative fiction, and successfully pulls together its influences to be an interesting new take.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun, interesting stories
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019
Verified Purchase
First story gave me the impression that I wouldn't enjoy this, so I put it down for a while, but later on found out that most of these were really fun, interesting stories. I would class it as light absurd fiction, kind of the same vein as bizarro. Not overly gross, but it inspired genuine nightmares.

I doubt anyone would love every single story in this book but there are good ones, bad ones and . . .very odd ones. Best not to go in with expectations, just take it as it comes and if you don't like the one you're reading, skip it. Some are good.
