 brilliantly read stories. August 16, 2006
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
i have rarely come across a better selection of ghost stories than the ones here. of equal importance is the choice of actors to read them, and this has been done extremely well. both a good writer and a good reader really helps me to use my imagination. i think that is most essential when listening to a story or novel. my favourite is "my adventure in norfolk" read by nigel davenport. a stroke of genius both in the story and the reading.
other volumes that are available, "horror stories" and "supernatural stories" are read by the same people and are just as highly recommended.
 Almost the Finest Pick of the Genre November 18, 2002

The Ghost Story is an extremely attractive genre to attempt to corral into any one work. Conesequently, it is also the most precarious. Because the criteria for what makes a story a 'ghost story' run the gamut from Hans Christian Andersen to Richard Laymon, it was a tough call for the editor.I found this book entertaining and, at first, a little disappointing. Where was Lovecraft? There was, however, M.R. James, there was Bradbury (more often associated with sci-fi, but yes, he did contribute to spectral literature), and there were the proto-contributors from ages past. If you want a cosy grouping of the 'greatest hits' of the ghost in writing then go for this. I found it lacking a little in guts, vis-a-vis with horror fiction, but it will provide even horror buffs with jolts of consternation. This is high entertainment in the tradition of its publisher and makes great night reading. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
