A perfect narration as usual

Sir Gordon is the perfect reader for such stories. Sure you can get them on YouTube but buying them helps contribute to this awesome work.

Ian is amazing.

Ian is an amazing storyteller and I love these collections. one of my all time favorite orators.

Really great short stories

I really enjoyed listening to these short stories and found the narrator did a great job for each short story.

Perfect Spooky Season Listening

It’s really difficult to find a compilation like this that is so solid. A lot of these authors I had never heard of, and those I had such as Blackwood, Poe, PKD, Lovecraft, and Bierce I do enjoy. So I knew I would at least be interested in those stories (probably). I will say this hooked me right away. The first 5 stories are very solid. I did have to skip over some instances of in a story that discussed killing an animal, but that did not make the tale bad, only that I was not interested in hearing the details. I am very happy with my purchase and will be going onto the 3rd book now.

Good, though the first was better.

I found this one contained a few too many ordinary ghost stories, but over all I had a pretty fun time.
