A different twist on an old classic
Just love Setphen Fry. I found the background gave a depth to the experience. If you listen quietly It gives atmosphere and draws u into another realm between the words. I found it made my concerntration more acute on Stephens voice. These are classic ghost stories, creativity written. not too old to withstand the passage of time. They reflect an era of awareness of the supernatural. a time of change . I enjoyed this book.

Most Enjoyable
Stephen Fry has the best narration voice ever for ghost stories. He really does the authors proud. Will look for more narrations by Fry.

Great performance, dreadful music
Stephen Fry’s performance is excellent, as always, but the sound effects and music were irritating and distracting. The “sound design “ was unnecessary. Fry's performances of Conan Doyle & Wodehouse didn’t need sound effects and neither does his reading of ghost stories.

A good listen
I’m a fan of anything Stephen Fry narrates so I’m a little biased. Though the stories weren’t overly scary or anything, they were still an enjoyable listen. I’d recommend this for anyone who’s a fan of the genre and Stephen Fry.

Stephen Fry at his best!
Great narration of old classics enhanced by SF incredible voice. Once I got used to the side effects I actually enjoyed them and they did create atmosphere but I understand why some people were less enthusiastic.
4* only because I’d have liked some modern material as well.
