I enjoyed this collection greatly.

Although a couple of the stories felt a little dated, they were all interesting, entertaining and well written.

Enjoyable Collection of Old Short Stories

I had never read any of these stories before so I thought I'd give it a go. All of the narrators were very good, but I did guffaw at the English accent done in the first story (it grows on you though). My favourites were The Graveyard Rats and Calling Card. They are all horror-related, but the last story is sci-fi. It's an enjoyable listen if you're looking for some scary short stories.

Puerile and boring.

This collection, with the exception of the Bradbury story - which is easily found on YouTube in audio form for free- is not worth anyone's time. Not one tale was scary or mildly engrossing. As if the person who edited/collated this collection, went out of their way to choose stories with no depth given to any protagonist or character. Save your five dollars for something else.
