Since this is a complete collection of the author's stories, some of them are not as interesting for me as the rest, but certainly a 9.5 out of 10.
I did not know of this author, until I was listening to a podcast of "Shadows at the Door", who gushed about this person's writing. They have adapted quite a few of his stories, this one being Season 1, episode 7.
The author's ability to talk to the reader, as the writer, about the goings on in the story is excellent, and witty.
The appendix, at the end, is especially interesting, on his theories of a good ghost story, and gave many examples of other authors that he admired.
I binged the book in 2 days and have gone back to some of my favourites. 18 hours of listening for 1 credit can't be beat.
