Summary
Four spine-tingling short stories from masters of the genre, read by Michael Maloney, Eleanor Bron, and Andrew Sachs. 'The Phantom Coach' by Amelia B. Edwards; 'The Judge’s House' by Bram Stoker; 'The Tapestried Chamber' by Sir Walter Scott; 'The Man of Science' by Jerome K. Jerome.
In 'The Phantom Coach', a young man lost on the moors in a snowstorm takes refuge in a lonely farmhouse. Anxious not to be stranded overnight, he makes a fateful decision....
'The Tapestried Chamber' sees General Browne visiting his old friend Lord Woodville in his picturesque castle. But Browne’s night in the tapestried chamber is not to be a pleasant one.
'The Judge’s House' finds Malcolm Malcolmson searching for a quiet place to study for his exams. His choice of an isolated house previously owned by an evil hanging judge is to have terrible consequences....
Finally, in 'The Man of Science', the hate of one man and the fear of another lead to a dreadful revenge.
These four classic tales from the golden age of the ghost story are sure to induce a frisson of fear.

Mixed
Bram stoker’s ‘the judge’s house’ was excellent, the others just average. Well narrated as expected given the ‘all star’ line up.

Not best selection
Ok but nothing outstanding. Awful lot of ambience music! Not good value for money in my opinion.

Classic stories well read.
A great collection of chillers, well produced, very haunting and highly recommended to lovers of the psychological classic spook tale.

Atmospheric and well-read
A really good collection of four ghost stories, very atmospheric. All well-written with varying degrees of success - my favourite was the first, The Phantom Coach, which was deliciously creepy. All well-read by three narrators.

Good but not totally my cuppa
quite a traditional old story telling. if you like a classic tale then this will be for you but the story's are all together so can be a bit of a faff if your wanting to skip.

Not Bad
It's not a bad listen but there are better ghosts stories the stories were well narrated but not what I would call very ghostly, worth a listen and not too long.

Classic Ghost Stories brilliantly narrated
A great collection of ghost stories. Perfect for dipping into when you fancy listening to something creepy on a dark night with a roaring fire for company and a mug of cocoa. Perhaps don't listen at bedtime though unless you are made of sterner stuff than me!

Short stories to get into the Halloween spirit!
These four stories, each of 30-60 minutes approx, are perfect gothic short tales by 4 classic writers. The readers are excellent. It makes for a cosy evening!
