This is a must have for all fans of the genre. Even though this is a long listen, I loved it because it has a lot of stories in it. This collection has everything from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to The Monkey’s Paw and the Yellow Wallpaper. There are even a few stories in this collection that I have never heard of but enjoyed anyway.
The changing narration helped to keep the suspense alive with each alternating story, bringing the characters to life and animating the words in a way that sends chills down your spine.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this collection. Highly recommended!

Alison Larkin is a narrator I have always enjoyed. Her voice is incredible. She is so distinct and keeps you listening. Clive Hayward and Derek Perkins were also great, I liked the change in narrators. It kept the 31 hours changed up a bit. It felt like the smaller chunks that they should feel like (given that they are multiple stories.)
I received a copy of this book at my request, and I have voluntarily left this review.

This collection is made up of some stories I knew the basics of and some I had never heard of, but none I had ever read so this was right up my alley. The stories will speak for themselves (these are all considered 'classics' after all).
If you like classics, this collection is for you.
If you like horror, this collection is for you.
If you've never read, this collection is for you.

I love Alison Larkin as a narrator and Clive Hayward and Derek Perkins were great as well. All three gave delightful, talented performances and made these classics all come to life.
