Very interesting...

This book is well worth reading as it's not too frightening but it leaves a lot to your imagination.

Nice selection of stories

Stories were okay and narration good too. Not as spooky as I’d hoped but enough to get you thinking! Easy listening.

Creepy

I often get these audiobooks they are part of the audible plus so you get a free listen and these haunting tales are terrific and creepy. They are quite tame but eerie at the same time. There are 5 tales in this book and the narration is perfect as well which helps in making this a great listen.

Wonderfully creepy

Atmospheric build up and aged story telling that takes you back to the past. Very clever writing - fantastic narration too!

3 out of 5 ain’t bad!

I thought that three of the five stories here were very good. Overall this is a book worth listening to, and I’ll leave it up to the individual reader to decide which stories are entertaining and which ones are not.
