Good Halloween Listening

Many short stories and some were longer. I bought this book because it had stories by M.R. James and he is a great story teller. It had some stories by H.P. Lovecraft also. Some where a little long and not as good as others but if you like Scifi mysteries this was a great read.

fantastic

I love these short story collections, I hope at some point they might have George RR Martin's "Pear shaped Man" or "A song For Lya" his Weird Tales are highly underappreciated.... each author is so unique , I love it.

Fantastic collection deftly read

I am a huge fan of Horror Babble. The narrator, Ian Gordon, does an excellent job of transporting the listener into the stories and creating an atmosphere appropriate for these weird tales. This particular collection has a host of different stories by many of the stalwarts of the weird genre. I highly recommend listening to this volume and following all of the Horror Babble performances on Audible in other mediums.

A very excellent tour of classic horror

Is there anyone that doesn't like a good horror story? Ian Gordon has assembled a collection of classic and modern horror from the likes of Poe, Bloch, Lovecraft, Dick, Blackwood as well as Ian himself. Combined with his unraveled narrations, these stories come alive and will leave the listener wondering what hit them. You'll want the lights on when listening. Sleepless nights await those who dare.
