Exceptionally good collection

This is an excellent collection. The readers are all serious professionals. But more than that: they've all taken the time to deliver well thought out, intelligent readings. The reading of "The Voice in the Night" by Sean Barrett is exceptional.

Not bad

This should be titled Classic tales of Intrigue!!! Some of the stories are quite good, but none of them hold anything fantastic or scary. Although the author list is very impressive all you are likely to get is the occasional shiver and that's about it. Unless this book is on offer, I would suggest you give it a miss.

a nice mix of stories

This really is a nice mix of ghost stories, some longer than others but all of the best variety. Some are better known than others but all are superbly entertaining especially for long cold, winter nights around Halloween or just before Christmas.
