Since it's nearing Halloween I thought I'd read (or listen to) some ghost stories. This is an interesting collection that started out pretty well, but in whole wasn't so great - although, to be fair, I'm not usually one to enjoy short stories or collections of them. My favorites were "The Judge's House" by Bram Stoker and "The Upper Berth" by F. Marion Crawford. Most of them are Victorian-era fiction and feature protagonists who pursue the most illogical course of action through stubbornness and pride - which gets a little old when it's pretty much every single story. The reader, Richard Pasco, does a good job, but overall I think I'd rather just listen again to [b:The Legend of Sleepy Hollow|23197024|The Legend of Sleepy Hollow|Washington Irving|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1410306606s/23197024.jpg|24816020] read by Tom Mison.

Ghost stories have a timeless appeal for readers of all ages, and this audiobook collects 11 of the best ever written from the 19th and 20th centuries. Some of the authors here, like Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Guy de Maupassant, were masters of the spook story, while others, like Dickens, made occasional memorable forays into the genre. From Dracula author Bram Stoker comes "The Judge's House," a Victorian chiller dripping with atmosphere, forebodingand rats. Rudyard Kipling's "My Own True Ghost Story" involves a game of billiards being played in a room that doesn't existor does it? F. Marion Crawford's "The Upper Berth" presents grisly doings in the cabin of a steamship and no doubt caused many a passenger to hesitate to take down his or her bed. Reader Richard Pasco renders the spectral mood of these stories with appropriate gravitas. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
