Great Stores, Told Perfectly

I have heard most of these stories before, but I have never heard them told better. I only wish Mr. Fry had told more sories that had not been recorded so often by others.

I love Ghost Stories

Great stories narrated by a wonderful voice. Poe’s and Stroker’s stories come to life. THe others I had not heard until this collections.

Stupendous

Stephen Fry does a marvelous job of narrating his favorite selection of ghost stories, some familiar some not so. I was in suspense from beginning to end.

I have never written a review before this one.

I have never written a review before this one. I feel strongly compelled to for this audio book. I am not someone who is crazy about the background sound effects. In fact, in most cases I hate them, many time they are to loud and distracting. However, all of these are very well place, in the background and ADD to the story, the suspense is just a little bit more suspenseful. The stories are all well told. I am greatly enjoying this audio book and very pleased that I purchased it.

Fry is awesome

Some of the stories, not so much. It takes a long time to get to the payoff on some of them, but Fry tells them very well!
