Ghost Stories Beautifully Crafted to haunt you
Jacobi's superb supple voice & minute inflections are in perfect pitch for these old fashioned, disturbingly ambiguous ghost stories. Once encountered I felt the spectral entities remained nearby long after I had ceased reading about their lives, their deaths; they had been imprisoned created too often by Faustian pacts. How can they be set free from their horrible captivity, behind the bars of their often self inflicted and last remaining Too often the-eerily suggested entities feel too close to many of us.

not a bad book
The stories are ok. I would have marked it higher but the music on it was too loud and of a pitch that made me cringe a bit.

No Velry Ghostly
Interesting but not at all scary, infact quite shallow I have had better than this but the narrator Derek Jacobi did a wonderful job.

Great stories
I love these ghost stories. I really enjoyed them when the BBC used to have readings on television at Christmas time. Derek Jacob with that wonderful voice is fantastic.

can't beat a good MR James
Superb stories, full of menace without being gorey and violent, everything a good horror story should be. Excellent narration too makes this an insomniac's dream listen.
