One of the hobbies of Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax, was the collection of gruesome tales of the supernatural.

Interesting catalogue but very strange reading.
A fascinating collection, but my partner and I were both convinced the reading was computer generated, like a bad tube announcement. Very grating intonation. Sorry if you are a real person, but wouldn't buy again. Audible really need to step up their quality control.

Good stories ....
l agree the narration isn't the best; the narration sounds very monotonous and whiney, so if your easily irritated this book will not be for you. The book would sound better narrated by someone such as Peter Yearsly.
l however, persevered with this book and found that after several stories the narration didn't seem to bother me as much.

The worst reading of any audible book ever...
These classic ghost stories are reduced to a joke by a woman who reads them as if impersonating the love-child of Stephen Toast and Frank Spencer. These are without a shadow of a doubt the strangest intonations and pronunciations ever included within Audible.
Case in point
' I enquired as to the weatheeeeeeeerrrrr'
' She heard futstahps and didn't know whaaaat to make of it'
Sack her, get a re-record Audible.
