Historia
Victor Hugo's tale of injustice, heroism and love follows the fortunes of Jean Valjean, an escaped convict determined to put his criminal past behind him. But his attempts to become a respected member of the community are constantly put under threat: by his own conscience and by the relentless investigations of the dogged Policeman, Javert. It is not simply for himself that Valjean must stay free, however, for he has sworn to protect the baby daughter of Fantine, driven to prostitution by poverty.

A terrifying vision of scientific progress without moral limits, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein leads the listener on an unsettling journey from the sublime beauty of the Swiss alps to the desolate waste of the arctic circle. Obsessed with the idea of creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material with which to fashion a new being, shocking his creation to life with electricity. But this botched creature, rejected by its creator and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy Frankenstein and all that he holds dear.

Historia
In the grotesque bell-ringer Quasimodo, Victor Hugo created one of the most vivid characters in classic fiction. Quasimodo's doomed love for the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda is an example of the traditional love theme of beauty and the beast. Yet, set against the massive background of Notre Dame de Paris and interwoven with the sacred and secular life of medieval France, it takes on a larger perspective.

Historia
She is my muse, and I am her demon of music. A year ago, I witnessed sweet Scarlett Day’s dark side. She’s been my obsession ever since. I was content with being her secret, content with protecting her from afar… until an enemy from my past sets his sights on her. Our families have a deep history of hatred, and Scarlett is caught in the middle. Meanwhile, her mind plays tricks on her. When a panic attack goes horribly wrong, I emerge from the shadows to save her. Now that she’s mine, I can’t let her go. I’ve mastered the darkness. She tempts me with her light.

Young nobleman d’Artagnan has arrived in Paris intent on joining the guardians of King Louis XIII. He befriends the regiment’s most formidable musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and together they unite in their commitment to uphold justice. Soon, a royal indiscretion thrusts them into an audacious escapade of courtly intrigue, thwarted romance, and daring rescue.

Les Misérables is set in Paris after the French Revolution. In the sewers and backstreets, we encounter "the wolf-like tread of crime", and assassination for a few sous is all in a day's work. We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Featured Article: The top 100 horror books of all time
This list encompasses the full spectrum of what horror can be—campfire-worthy tales, stomach-churning gore, and incisive social commentary. The classics are accounted for, but it also spotlights more recent titles, because that’s the nature of the genre—it is as perennial as it is ever-evolving, conjuring whatever frights most haunt our collective consciousness. Each title does have one thing in common: It makes for devilishly good listening. So cut the lights and press play—if you dare.

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes. Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only things he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety...

Book better than the movie
I'm usually a purist and read the book before I watch the movie. However, my children persuaded me to watch Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Phantom" and I found the story to be haunting and unsettling, so much so that I decided to get the book.
This audio book was fantastic! The reader did an outstanding job infusing emotion into the reading. Leroux develops the characters so much more than a movie is able to. I understood so much more of the emotions, character backgrounds, and even the plot than I had with the movie. I ached for Christine Daae with the decisions she had to make and the final outcome of the story.
If your only exposure to Phantom of the Opera has been either Weber's Phantom or any of the other movies made based on this story, you must read (or listen to) this book. If you've never been exposed to any version of the Phantom, you must read this book. It is Beauty and the Beast set in an opera house. In the end, the only thing that can defeat evil is love.

Beautiful and tragic
I loved every second of this!! I enjoyed the story the musical hadn't covered quite a bit and the Persian is so cool! I sympathize with Erik and I'm glad the story consistently paints him as tragic and lacking empathy in many ways rather than full on evil. Amazing and I definitely recommend to those who love the musical or just a good old fashioned mystery.

The phantom of the opera is a hauntingly beautiful tale of true and unrequited love. A timeless classic in which I’ll always take pleasure in reminiscing and revisiting its origins of beauty.

So much better than the musicals.
I have Always been a HUGE fan of the Phantom of the Opera. I remember seeing the old movie and the Broadway Musical of it as a kid. But reading and listening to the actual story was so much better. The story of the love triangle made so much more sense. I really enjoyed the narrator. He was very good with the voices though the men's parts all sounded the same even the Persian sounded French. But it was still good. Definitely recommend for any Phantom fan.

A Good And Different Story Than What I Expected
I really liked this story. For me it did seem to start somewhat slowly. However the longer I listened and read, the more I liked the story. T was more of a mystery story than a ghost story.
There were times I felt the story was a little bit convoluted and therefore I needed to read along. Therefore for me it was not a pure listening experience. It was a reading listening experience. Thank You…

Phantom of the Opera
I was quite impressed by this book. I did not know that this was a book and was eager to listen to the full unabriged story. The story was quite fascinating and I was eager to listen straight through without stopping. The narrator Ralph Cosham did a good job narrating the story. He has a nice clear voice and was able to make the different characters stand out from each other. I really enjoyed this title and would recommend it to others.

The Original, Riveting Story
Of the tidal wave of sensational gothic fiction written since Horace Walpole published his Castle of Otranto in 1764, a few, like Bram Stoker’s Dracula, have attained the status of industries. Others, like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, have degenerated into seasonal clichés. Both fates tend to separate us from the original, riveting stories that gave them birth. Gaston Leroux’s Phantom is, of course, an industry now—and no exception to this general rule.
Like Stoker and Shelley, Leroux makes an utterly implausible character in an utterly implausible situation utterly real. Keats talked about the “willing suspension of disbelief”; in this case, the suspension goes almost unnoticed. Like most of the characters, you start out skeptical of the Ghost’s existence. Then, somehow, you’re in the bowels of the Opera, hoping our heroes get out alive.
It’s that skepticism, of course, freely voiced by the new managers of the Opera, the police, and the general public, that does the trick. Some, indeed most, characters never lose it. The truth becomes a secret between you, the listener, and a select few. Now that I’m one of them, I don’t want to see the musical. It might ruin the novel for me.
I always enjoy listening to Ralph Cosham, but here, while his tone and tempo were perfect, I had some trouble distinguishing characters. This book presents challenges in that regard, only two of the main characters being female. And in a galaxy of male voices, Leroux sometimes fails to insert a helpful “so-and-so said” between lines of dialogue.
My only other quibble is with the organization of this recording. Some “chapters” run 30 to 40 minutes, others run over an hour. But they all contain several actual chapters, making the finding of one’s place (if one has been so unfortunate as to hit the wrong button) a little difficult.
Meanwhile, Leroux’s Mystery of the Yellow Room (his only other novel that has withstood the last century) is now on my wish list.
