So boring! I couldn't make it through the first story. The narrator is terrible. I want my money back.

The stories are probably pretty good, but I can't get past the terrible narrators.
I've yet to finish this and don't think I ever will. Which is too bad because I happen to think gothic horror stories are good.

Bad robotic narration

Too wordie. The style of writing was from the 1700's and was hard to follow. Not fun to listen to.

Please don't waste your money. I love good ghost stories and this collection is not one of them. The audio quality was very bad. The narration was so boring I found myself nodding off while driving. The stories were not in the least scary.

If you are a fan of the detective story, this is a must listen. Excellent renditions of stories from the early days of detective stories.

A must for fans

Several fascinating stories here, but ruined by the worst narration on any title I've listened to. Not just marginally bad; they were profoundly bad.

New narrators needed
