I Didn't Think I Would Like This Book, But

This is a much better set of stories than I anticipated. Classic horror stories by famous authors are complemented by superlative narrators.

I recommend this book.

Very Creepy

I love Victorian/Edwardian English Horror.For me it’s the best setting for this type of tale.My favorite writer of this genre was M.R James. I was surprised by the “Judges House” by Brahm Stoker. I had heard a dramatized version of this story from the BBC’s series “Fear on Four” and it was awesome. The story itself is great.It’s the rats I think that gives it the ultimate creep factor.Very entertaining.

I loved the narrated performances in these classic ghost stories. And the background music really gave that haunting atmosphere that I enjoy in a good short tale of haunting!

Excellently Told Classic Tales!

If you're looking for some classic horror tales read by superb narrators, this is your audiobook! Although only 2 hours 18 mins long, I find this a great purchase (I got it on one of the frequent sales). The narrator on the first two stories was my favourite, and I enjoyed The Phantom Coach the most of all of them with The Judge's House as runner-up. Check this one out if you're a fan of classic horror!
