Of the actual ghost stories or scary supernatural tales, the collection is ok. There are a few that are quite good, though most are not what I’d call the best in this genre. There are a few standouts in my opinion, like the tale from Oscar Wilde and “The Open Door”. What can I say? I like some dark humor with my scary stories.
Also, if you’re not familiar with ghost stories from this time period, they might be a but much for you. They tend to tell the story in a very round-about way that is less likely to appeal to some people with more modern storytelling expectations.
The narrators are decent. The man struggles with some of the accents of the characters, but he reads well and with feeling. The woman does a good job overall and a bit better with the accents than the man did.
Odd collection, some stories are not supernatural at all

If you are like me and like reading/listening to audiobooks before bed, skip this one. It will only keep you awake and make you angry.
Not as Scary as it could be

His mispronunciations of words common to British literature are grating, however. As many of these stories include dialect, the readers are forced to attempt accents with mixed success. I do sympathize with having to read these old-fashioned narratives out loud. Mark Gatiss's reading of E F Benson's tales is an excellent example of how to read a Victorian ghost story properly.
The female narrator is much better. Her reading of "The Lost Ghost" actually made me tear up at the end.
It's a good commuting book because it's long and keeps me alert without engaging my full attention, which is what I primarily look for in free content.
Poor narrator, a very mixed bag
