A collection of Agatha Christie’s stories of the macabre and the occult, where a message from beyond the grave unmasks an insane killer, and a nun has the power to cause a landslide. Read by the prince of darkness, Christopher Lee.

A collection of Agatha Christie’s stories of the macabre and occult.

From the story ‘The Red Signal’ where an omen from ‘the other side’ unmasks an insane killer, to ‘The Hound of Death’ where a convent blows up – and on the remaining wall is left a black powder mark, in the shape of a great dog…

The other spine chilling mysteries are ‘The Fourth Man’, ‘The Gipsy’ and ‘The Lamp’.

Being an avid fan of Agatha I am easily swayed into giving her good reviews. Worth the time to listen, before drifting off into the land of nod.

Christopher Lee is at his mellifluos best reading these Agatha Christie supernatural short stories. Enjoy!

I find many of Agatha Christie's short stories to be better written than her books. This is a great collection of supernatural stories that are quite different from her Marple/Poirot books. My favourite aspect is the performance from the late Christopher Lee, it offers him a greater range than any of the films I've seen him in.

Interesting collection, brilliant performance

The stories are fine. I'm not going to pretend they're scintillatingly original or spine-tinglingly scary in and of themselves, but none of them is terrible. It's the narration that has had me listening to these on a loop; Sir Christopher Lee has pitched it perfectly.

Sir Christopher Lee is fantastic

Probably the best short story collection I've ever purchased - the fact that it was read by Christopher Lee truly enhanced the experience and added to the suspense and sense of foreboding in the appropriate places. Stories like The Hound of Death, Wireless and The Call of Wings alone make the collection worthwhile, while the other nine tales display Christies range and imaginative ability.
