Very interesting to listen to some classic horror stories. Fantastic narration. But not so scary.

narrated beautifully
Beautifully narrated, spooky enough for a stormy night story...it lulled me to sleep each night leaving me in a eerie suspance!

All the stories were excellently narrated and well chosen.
The use of sound effects. Totally unnecessary. Stephen Fry has an exceptional voice that does not need anything extra added to increase the “atmosphere” - just the vocals are enough

Boring stories, expertly read!
I found this a thoroughly tedious and tiring listen, despite Stephen’s usual excellent delivery. The stories weren’t scary or even spooky, and I found my mind wandering as I disengaged with the story. Disappointing

A pleasant listen because of Stephen Fry’s narration
A pleasant listen but not scary or even spooky. Would love more spookiness. However Stephen Fry can read anything and I’d want to listen to him!

Absolutely marvelous
What a treat. Perfect for the fall & cosy winter evenings by the fire. At first, I was unsure about the sound effects, but after a couple of minutes I got used to them and they really create a beautiful atmosphere. Even gave me a jumpscare once.
Thank you, Mr. Fry, I cannot wait what you will do next.
