Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

It isn’t my usual type of read but I decided to give it a try. Not sure what I was thinking with this one. It was trippy to say the least.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher/author for providing me with an ALC in exchange for my honest review.

OMG!!! This book was exactly what I wanted it to be! I loved it. I will make sure to check out other books by this author. When I requested this I was just intrigued by the concept of it and I loved how it turned out. This story had a great plot and if you have read this and enjoyed it, This was so much. It was such a great story. I would say give this one a try. I will continue to follow this author. Way to go to this author for not letting me down.

I highly enjoyed the narrator of the audiobook. Kept me listening.

An excellent conclusion to The Bed;am bible series, with the same level of terrifying world building and nightmarish characters throughout. Connor Brannigan does a fantastic job as ever.

Loved all the 12 stories, this writer is another level altogether and the narrator is FANTASTIC
Thanks to NetGalley, the editor and the author for the opportunity to access this advanced copy.

The story was very interesting, but I did get a little lost sometimes. The narrator was great and it was super weird and twisty.

Copy provided thanks to Netgalley.

Overall, an outstanding collection. Morbid and creepifying, in the worst way. I loved it. A collection as impressive as Eighth Block, whose life and times it describes. And, to my apartment neighbours, if I start ranting about people listening in the walls, this book is probably the reason why.

A collection of stories that touch on dark roots in our personalities, from fears to tendencies, reminding the listener of the thin line often separating sanity from delusion. Lovely journeys of the mind down twisted paths of logic and circumstance. Graphic descriptions add to dark edge of collection

Another fun but dark set of stories, once more set within the Eight Block Tower. We are treated to a dozen stories of former residents of this broken realm of the desperate and mad, as flood waters rise to cover the tower. The stories range from the mildly baffling (a woman whose new boyfriend can control the walls of his room to transport him to anywhere and make anything materialise) to the downright weird battles with sea monsters and serial kidnappers.
All stories are well self-contained and distinct with new and interesting characters and scenarios.
A great entry in Pauley's wonderful world.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the chance to listen to this audiobook. Creepy stories, I really enjoyed them all. This is actually the first book I read in the Bedlam Bible Series and apparently the last one, so now I want to go back and read the others! Narrator did an excellent job, too.

I can’t believe this is the last book in this amazing series that I absolutely loved every second of it!

Twelve Residents Dreaming was the perfect end to The Bedlam Bible series, I really enjoyed all the stories, they were weird, fun and creepy. I couldn’t stop reading it, it captured my attention and kept me intrigued the whole time.

As always the narration was spectacular!

If you want to have an amazing and memorable time then don’t hesitate to pick up this awesome series!

Thank you NetGalley for the Arc. This is my first experience with Bedlam Bible series. I'm 100% going back to read the rest of the books in the series. Twelve Residents Dreaming tells the story of Anacoy Marlin finding 12 skulls and experiencing 12 different stories from them. When he puts his fingers in the eye sockets, he can see what that person went through. I enjoyed the audiobook for this book a lot. I loved all the very weird and scary short stories. They are filled with horror and are so wild. I was hooked from the first story up until the end. This is a book that I'll be recommending to friends around Halloween if they are looking for a good horror book.

I actually really like each of the story. Crazy entertaining and just shows how messed up 8th block tower really is .. I for once would not want to be there.
Cant wait to read listen o more of Williams books.

Wow. What a weird rollercoaster of stories. Adobe creepy, some just disturbing, others actually poignant and sad. A great listen. The narrator does a decent range of voices, although his female voices aren't his strong point. As a producer, I might have gotten a female voice actress to read the ones that had a female lead.

Overall, though, very enjoyable. There are definitely a couple that had my head shaking in slight awe and disbelief.

Thanks to Netgalley, William Pauley III and Doom Fiction Audio for allowing me to listen to this great work. All opinions are my own.

This was a fantastic ending to this series. It was creepy and atmospheric and incredibly well written. The author created the worst place anyone would ever want to live in this series and seeing all the characters be tied together in this final book was great. I would read anything written by this author. The narrator did a fantastic job voicing multiple people and really conveyed all the emotions each character was feeling.
Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Oof this audiobook made me uncomfy! It was great at giving me the surreal, am-I-still-having-a-nightmare feeling I get sometimes while I’m still half asleep. Great, unnerving writing!

Twelve Residents Dreaming is the final book in The Bedlam Bible series by William Pauley III. It starts with a man lost at sea coming across an apartment building in the middle of the ocean. Inside he finds skulls of some of the residents & when he puts his fingers in the eye sockets, he sees their story. Some of the stories are creepy, some darker, & some are funny. It’s an absolute adventure to be on throughout this book & if you’re into horror that stretches beyond reality then this is the book for you. I’d give it 3.5 stars. It’s not my typical style of book, but the story was engaging and well written.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this book.

WOW! What a great series! Creepy, wild, and wonderful all wrapped into one. Such a good book!!

Another random book by Pauley III and another book that I absolutely loved. I really liked that there were short stories in this one but based on one topic, the residents of 8th block. My favourite was Black Friday.

Full of sinister characters and macabre plots, this is well worth your time.
It reels you in and feasts on your fears.
Brilliantly narrated in its audiobook form and cleverly written, this is a must for horror fans.

A collection of short stories consisting of the memories of some of the residents of Eighth Block Tower. This story will have you pondering life, death, sanity, and everything in between. As usual, Pauley’s writing is absolutely beautiful and consists of so many different layers hidden underneath the cover of “weird”. Discovering these books was truly one of the biggest highlights of my year. Or maybe that’s just the radiation talking…
