On a crusade to crush Lena's evil empire, the judge has sentenced three of her family members to death. And now she wants revenge.

Story4 out of 5 stars 458
Kevin Taylor is an Internet-famous handyman on a mission: Find a house and renovate it in 30 days. By flipping a derelict house in a month's time and chronicling the entire thing on video for his online subscribers, he seeks to become a star. The problems that plague this property will require more than elbow grease to fix, however. Shadows throughout the home are distorted, and an enigmatic trespasser keeps showing up in his footage. Worse still are the hideous voices that issue from otherwise empty rooms in the dead of night.

There is a book that is shrouded in mystery. Some even say it's a myth. Within its pages is a play - one that brings madness and despair to all who read it. It is the play of the King in Yellow, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days. The King in Yellow is a collection of stories interwoven loosely by the elements of the play, including the central figure himself.

Daniel Martin has never forgotten his childhood encounters with Frank Watkins, the man who built his family a summer home out of cardboard and plywood. Frank's gaze was oddly confusing, as if he was attempting to discern the proper way to behave because he didn't know how to respond in a human manner. Since Frank obviously wasn't an alien, young Daniel thought maybe the man was crazy. In the end, Daniel would learn the terrifying truth about Frank Watkins. And as an adult, Daniel is about to discover there are more of them out there.

English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

No stranger to controversy, he'd already triggered a furious Twitter storm by mocking an exorcism he witnessed. Then there was that video: 40 seconds of chilling footage that Jack repeatedly claimed was not of his making, yet it was posted from his own YouTube account. Nobody knew what happened to Jack in the days that followed - until now.

There's only one catch: behind a strange and intricately carved door in a distant wing of the house lives elderly Mrs. Allardyce, and the Rolfes will be responsible for preparing her meals. But Mrs. Allardyce never seems to emerge from her room, and it soon becomes clear that something weird and terrifying is happening in the house.

Haunted house story more creepy than horrific
- By Calliope on 05-03-17
Publisher's Summary
Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) was one of the most popular and prolific English authors of his time, best known for his historical fiction and novels for boys. But it was in the field of the macabre and supernatural that Walpole was at his best, and this collection of 16 tales contains many of his finest, including the classic werewolf story "Tarnhelm"; the oft-anthologized "The Little Ghost"; "The Snow", a chilling story of vengeance from beyond the grave; and perhaps the highlight of the collection, "The Silver Mask", which one critic has called "a masterpiece, a classic example of how a tale can be truly terrible and ghostly with no ghost and only the wispiest hint of the supernatural."

Bizarre and Enjoyable
Any additional comments?
This collection of stories is certainly different from any collection I've listened to before. Some of the stories have a spooky element to them, some seemed to be pure drama and others, well, I wouldn't know what to categorize some of these stories! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories, though I will say that some of them completely lacked an ending. Usually this bothers me a lot, but these stories were so odd that I kind of bought the non-endings as well! I would recommend this book to readers who like something older, something quirky or just like to try new and weird things!

Excellent Collection for Fans of The Twilight Zone
Any additional comments?
I love old fashioned ghost stories. As such, I jumped at the chance to listen to All Souls' Night, which is a collection of 16 short stories first published by Sir Hugh Walpole in 1933. While not every story included ghosts, there were plenty that kept me eerily entertained because, let's be honest, some people's actions toward others is ghastly.
My three favorite stories were "Sentimental But True" where a mysterious dog befriends a lonely middle aged woman who truly needs a friend. "The Staircase" where a house has feelings and despises one of its owners. And "Portrait in Shadow" where a cultured wealthy man befriends a young traveler who is invited to stay a few nights in his villa. The traveler is shown a painting that is a few hundred years old but looks a lot like his host. Depending on the lighting on this portrait, the ancestor depicted becomes sinister, like the volatile moods of the host (this story reminded me of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray).
I listened to the Audible version of this collection narrated by Matt Godfrey who did an admirable job. He has great pace and differentiated between male and female characters. I received a free copy of this audio and freely leave this unbiased review. In summary, I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys watching old episodes of the Twilight Zone.

If my grandparents told ghost stories I think they would have been much like these. From 1933 these stories hold up today. Not over the top or ultraviolent. Very good collection of woo woo tales.

Highly Recommended!
Would you consider the audio edition of All Souls' Night to be better than the print version?
I believe the narration enhanced the novel.
What other book might you compare All Souls' Night to and why?
I would recommend All Soul's Night to fans of the ghost stories of M.R. James, because the tales had that ghostly feel to them, even though they were not all ghost stories.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite story in this book was The Staircase because it had a unique POV.
If you could rename All Souls' Night, what would you call it?
Great Stories of Old.
