The Body Snatcher

De: Robert Louis Stevenson

Narrado por: Alexander Spencer

What would you call people who steal the newly buried dead and sell their bodies for medical dissection? In Stevenson's day, they were sometimes called "resurrectionists" - but he calls them "Body-Snatchers" and tells a grisly, memorable story about them. A master of terror and suspense, Stevenson lets his imagination explore the depths of human superstitions. Also included on this recording are the stories "Isle of Voices" and "The Waif Woman."

A creepy good time.

A creepy good time but not terrifying. Classic horror at its best. If you like Edgar Allen Poe then you will like these stories.💀 🎃

Interesting Heathens

A good listen and short enough for a one sitter. The book shows that we may be getting closer to the Second Coming of Christ, as our morality today is much worse than it was in the 19th Century. lol

It's free...

This is a free book. Don't have high expectations and just use it to kill some time.

A decent collection of short stories

The last story was the most interesting - I tended to drift out of attention with the others

Great stories

Detailed story telling made the time period come alive. Great morals and the fall of the morally weak.

Enjoyed the Waif wife!

Felt like the body snatchers ended abruptly. The wait wife was great. The third Hawaiian tale was not interesting to me.

A great book

A really great book that I found to be exciting and engaging. I found that this book is developmental and maturative. I highly recommend this book.
