Publisher's summary

This is a story from The Moonlit Road collection.

These five 19th-century ghost stories from both sides of the Atlantic provide some of the best chills in the genre. Ambrose Bierce is well-known, but "To Let" by B. M. Croker and "The Upper Berth" also provide moments to tingle the spine, as does "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances" by Le Fanu. This collection, which is further enhanced by suitably chilling music, was originally released under the title Classic Chilling Tales 3.

Editorial reviews

Unnerving music sets the tone for this F. Marion Crawford bone-chiller from 1886. Jonathan Keeble's cautious delivery builds unease. His resonant, almost whispered, baritone jazzes up this old-fashion ghost story about a boat with a mysterious porthole and possessed passengers. American writer Crawford, working at the turn of the 20th century, was a master storyteller known best for his weird and fantastical stories. Award-winning actor Jonathan Keeble has performed over 200 audiobooks and his experience shows in this performance.
