Halloween Original - Pre-Book
Heidi G.
Can’t wait to get my teeth into these books - I picked these purely on the cover design, okay a bit on the synopsis. Very rarely have I been disappointed with the selection of books I’ve received from ABOS, authors I probably wouldn’t have picked have stretched my usual reading

Can’t wait to read them love the look of them and a new author discovered that I have never read

The variety of genres. They all seemed so different to one another, and nothing that I would typically pick up from a book shop but they're all excellent choices.

One of the books (Withered Hill) was one I'd just borrowed from the kindle library and was less than 50 pages into it. Spot on recommendation, and now I have a copy to keep!
I loved the extras - already had loads of compliments on the tote bag

The Horror Plus Book Subscription by A Box of Stories has become one of my most cherished monthly rituals—a thrilling blend of literary discovery and artistic delight. Each box arrives like a secret parcel from the shadows, brimming with four carefully chosen horror and thriller novels that never fail to surprise me. But what elevates the experience beyond the books is the inclusion of the art prints—ethereal, evocative, and exquisitely designed.
From the moment I opened my first box, I was hoo...

I haven't started reading this batch yet as I have a bit of book backlog I am working through. So you get 5 stars for previous good reads 👍. Not really a complaint but every time I order the review treats me as a new customer ordering my first box so you may need to tweak my account or your algorithms. Anyway keep up the good work as I love the idea of saving orphan books.

Lovely little selection of books and overall a fantastic little box of goodies and well worth the money.
I was beyond happy and excited to receive it and would highly recommend A Box Of Stories!
PS The condition of the books in the packages are immaculate and that is something I truly appreciate and don't always get with other companies.

This box is the best I've ever received. You get an amazing amount of content with it. I got a tote bag and there atemore extras which I can't remember. Currently reading Withered Hill by David Barnett and it's a book that i can't put down once i pick it up.

Interesting selection. ‘People Like Us’ is just my sort of book. Not sure about ‘Hour of the Assassin’, not so keen on thrillers. Summer Island Festival looks very light reading and I’ll reserve judgement in the 4th until I have read it - good to try different styles.

I highly recommend a box of stories to anyone, I’ve had so many fantastic books that I would either have never come across or walked by in the book shop, love it!
Crime, Mystery & Thriller - Box of 4 Surprise Books
Karen E.
The books look to be really interesting just like any of the other books in all the ones before. I love opening the box and it's the highlight of the month when I first open the box. The selections are great even though some of them are something I wouldn't choose for myself. I look forward to opening more of these in the future.

Pleasantly surprised. Some of the books I would not have automatically chosen. However, my literary horizons are being expanded, and I look forward to discovering more new authors in the future.

Love my Halloween box! Four really good sounding books, and I love the extras as well. I had read one of the books other people were sharing, and I was hoping I wouldn't have it, but it was on my Goodreads, and it was not included in my box. All good. I've read one book so far, and gave it a 4/5, so far so good! Looking forward to the other three! Happy Halloween 🎃

Loved the bag and the fantastic bookmarks which my little nephews love. Nice cup of tea aswell. I chose the fiction box and happily surprised to see books I haven't read and that look like pretty good ones. Can't wait to get started (after I finish the last horror box).

This box was amazing, the best one I’ve received so far. I loved all the extras and the signed book. There were four books (2hardback, 2 paperback) in the box, so itll keep me busy until thd next box arrives.

My daughter looks forward to her box every month. I have seen a dramatoc improvement in her reading. She has become much more interested in a wider range of books. Its always nice to find a book thats quite interactive whether that be stickers, colouring or being involved in the story - working out clues.

My TBR is huge, so I've had to cut down on my subscriptions (Number and frequency!) all around.
I was interested in every book in this box, so none will be passed on without being read fist

The book subscription was given to me as a Christmas present by my son so he has asked me to right a review. I am an avid bookreader so I was thrilled to receive my book subscription box! Opening it felt like unwrapping a treasure trove of literary delights. The carefully curated selection of books exceeded my expectations and introduced me to new authors and genres. It's like having a personal bookshop at my doorstep every time I receive a parcel!"

It's a good mix of books and I was happy to also receive a queer fiction book which I am looking forward to reading
It also included some thrillers which I love and a couple of authors I've not tried before
So, good all round

I've bought this subscription as a birthday gift (which hasn't been had yet) But what I love about this is that, as anyone who has an avid fantasy scifi fan in the family knows, it's so disappointing when publishers relentlessly repackage the same old top 30 bestsellers. I have been caught out so many times, I don't like disappointing my fantasy fan, plus I don't like that sort of selling tactic. So, knowing these are fresh writers and stories who deserve a chance before pulping is a big win fo...

The surprise when I find books by authors I have usually not heard of,and thoroughly enjoyed those books.
After quite a few deliveries, I can honestly say that there was only one book that I wasn't delighted by.
I look forward to each delivery now.

Loved this box - all stories I wouldn’t have gravitated to in a bookshop but reading the blurb they all sound really good. It’s an amazing way to read outside of your comfort zone and discover amazing new books!

As a writer it's a brilliant way to read a variety of books I might not otherwise have chosen. I also love the excitement of receiving a gift I know is full of unknown treasures.

Good variety of books and some are interesting topics. Please continue to send me different variety of books. I recently give my sister in law one of the books you sent me and she said she would recommend to her book club readers. Some of the books are about history, biographies, crime books and life stories. Thank you very much Tracey.

A really good mix of books. I love that I receive both hardback and paperback books. It's a real not to have books I might not have chosen myself and it really broadens my reading experience.

I love the variety, both authors and genres. There is always a really interesting mix. Some I am drawn to straightaway but I usually end up reading them all and enjoying them. You can always learn something from a book!
