Conan Doyle, Edgar Allan Poe, Saki, Oscar Wilde and Ambrose Bierce - taking on a new energy and force through performances by Recorded Books’ critically-acclaimed narrators. Ranging from dungeons to drawing rooms, and peopled with extraordinary ghouls and doomed dowagers, the tales are guaranteed to raise the hair on the back of your neck. Our unabridged audioproduction may not be your first encounter with these stories, but the power of the narrations will make it a memorable one.

Found this okay, a couple of stories worth listening too but overall found it a bit boring and kept losing the plot a bit! Easy to be distracted and had to keep skipping back!

Okay

Some of the dark tales are better than others but there's not a dud amongst them. Could probably have done with a few more thrown in.

Spooky and effective
