very nice

very nice stories, I love the different plot people and places very intriguing worth the listen.

Average stories

These were average stories. Nothing really stood out about them and they really didn't keep my attention.

headline optional

At last, some excellent horror and ghost stories in the classical vein. Clearly, the author has read MR James, of which a couple of these stories are clearly reminiscent. Highly recommended to fans of ghost stories and excellent short horror stories in general.

Excellent Stories

This book contains excellent stories that are intriguing as well as entertaining. This is my honest unbiased review.

I am enjoying these recommendations!!!

this was recommended to me by audible I'm glad they did great listen gonna listen again!! really enjoyed....excited for the next listen!!!

Great spooky stories!!!

I was not expecting much from this, as I was unfamiliar with the author, and had only happened to come across this title in my list of Audible recommendations. But I’m so glad I decided to give Ashforth a try! The stories are deliciously spooky... I admit I felt a tingle along my spine more than once while listening to these five fantastic narrators... and I was not disappointed in the slightest. In fact, I plan to seek out more of Benedict Ashforth’s work and I won’t feel sorry at all paying good money for it. If you enjoy spooky stories, give this author a try!!! :-D

Wow...

This was fantastic. I’ve since got every audible book available from him. The narration is equally great. I could listen to these all day long. Just wow.

overall positive

I found the first two stories ugly and disturbing due to child abuse. this is a frequent theme with this author but less graphic in other tales. narration is excellent.

Haunting but not haunting

Most of the stories weren't original in their plots, and so weren't that scary. Still, the narrators made up for that, by keeping the atmosphere of the stories, that the author wanted. The most original and haunting story is the first one, which has a great twist at the end!

Great “Hitchcockian” style tales!

I grew up in a family that loved tales of horror and suspense. In my opinion, the very best horror stories are not filled with revolting descriptions of blood and gore. The best are those that make you feel uncomfortable and a little worried as to the possibility that the story was actually TRUE. I loved these stories because that’s exactly the way I felt! (My mother would’ve read these to me before bed each night...if the had been available to her)😀😳
