Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.

Story
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

A Christmas Carol
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A all time classic story, that stands the test of time, and, as always, with Dickens, a message, that can be deciphered.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Christmas Carol?
The Ghost(s) visiting Scrooge.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The emotions of the characters/ players.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Scrooge has his epiphany, and his whole world, and life change.
Any additional comments?
I was disappointed in the lack of difference/pitch, in the voiced parts. I did not think there was a good blend of voiced parts. I did not particularly like the narrators voice. I purchased this on the strength, of my perception, of Alistair Sims movie performance. My all-time favorite Christmas Carol movie.
