Wonderful narration. Mediocre stories.

I would pay to have Stephan Fry read me a telephone book. This collection is okay, and his storytelling style really enjoyable.

Aside from that, though, I felt his choice of stories to include was less than great, and the background sound effects were occasionally poorly done and distracted from the narration.

Ookity Spookity

It's ookity, it's Spookity. what else is there to say? Stephen Fry makes an excellent voice actor, I am not surprised as he's never disappointed me before. Each story is unique and memorable in its own right so I implore you to select this title.

As Fantastic and Fantastical as Expected

I expected something fantastic from Stephen Fry, and he delivered. This is a wonderful collection of frightening and fantastical short stories, and the narration is simply superb.

great read

If you like mystery with your ghost stories, this is it! Stephen Fry's voice is the right timbre your this collection.

Stephen Fry never lets down

I enjoyed this title very much. Although probably not my favorite genre, only to fall into the stories being told in such a way that makes you feel you’re actually there is worth the listen. The Dolby Atmos audio is well put to the service of the production and heightens the effect.

Classic horror stories from many classical authors as Brahm Stoker, Washington Irving, and Edgar Allan Poe. This book comes to show that culture and literary quality are not against having fun. That being said, those listeners looking for novelty may look for another title; this one is to enjoy Mr Fry enjoying with the classics.

Amazing Narration

These exquisite and haunting stories will captivate your imagination and keep you listening to every word.

Narration.

Some stories are familiar. Some others from famous authors are new to me and enjoyed immensely.

Perfect stories for all hallows eve here in New England. The music sound effects and,of course, Mr. Fry's voice. are perfect for October.
