From a fearful beast to a murderous obsession, from the fear of an invisible presence to malevolent magic, the vengeful dead, premonition, ghosts, pacts with the devil, and a strange madness, Naxos AudioBooks offers stories to be listened to in the dark with the lights turned off and the imagination switched on... Written by some of the great names in English literature and masters of the genre - Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, M.R. James, and so many more - these stories will linger in the mind long after the final word is spoken.
