A Good Selection of Classic Horror!
I really enjoyed this selection of stories! As a lover of classic horror and ghost stories, these really fit the bill. The stories that particularly stand out are The Horla, In the Dark, and A Warning to the Curious. Ian Holm gives an outstanding performance in The Horla, the best I have heard so far! The only complaint I have is that in a few of the stories you can hear something of a pre-reading, like somebody is whispering the story a second or two ahead of the narrator. It didn't bother me that much, and this audiobook is highly recommended!

Classic Chills
Like most classic tales, these adventures in Goth Land are understated and elegant.
Old favourites like "The Tell-Tale Heart" always stir the edges of the soul; our superb reader conveys to perfection the unreliability of the homicidal narrator. (No credit is given but I assume that it is the inimitable Bill Wallis who reads this selection)
Some of the stories in the collection are dated, an unavoidable drawback when delving deep into the past for a 21st century audience, but even these wrinkly tales retain a period charm. All in all, a suitably chilling way to pass an hour or two.
