The Finest Ghost Stories

This collection of ghost stories has a fantastic range of authors and stories - from Poe to Henry James, Dickens to Conan Doyle and beyond. If you're interested in the genre I would definitely reccommend adding it to your library!

Loved these short stories

I absolutely loved listening to each of these short stories and plan on repeatedly listening to them again.

not scary

I enjoyed listening to these to help me fall asleep because the stories were verbose and slowly read. I'd set the timer for an hour and fall asleep before it turned off. I'd have to start over the next night. I has taken me 2 months to finish.

Very pleasant to listen to

I grew up reading a lot, but in the past several years, I haven’t had much time to do so. Is very much enjoyed listening to these stories.
