Reviews

Entertaining


(3.5 stars)

A good collection. Well read. The Ebony Frame was such a heart breaker. The last one, about the water ghost was just silly. A nice mix.

nice variety


(3.5 stars)

Very well read. Nice variety of ghostly stories, some scary, some not so much, some historical, some rather humorous.

A fine collection


(5 stars)

This early collection in the series is delightful in its originality and humor. The readers do a good job as well . Try Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost for a very good read.(Forget the movie, unless you're a Charles Laughten fan.)

John Taylor...


(2.5 stars)

...has a decent reading voice - not professional, but after all this is Librivox - but his reading is marred by glaring mispronunciations (e.g. viscount pronounced "viss-count" instead of "vy-count') that can be very distracting.

Odd tales, loved the last one.


(4 stars)

Enjoyable stories and lots of colorful verbiage. Definitely not perfect but worth a listen. Enjoyed the calm pace of the readers.
