Ghostly Tales: An Audible Christmas Gift

By Pamelascott

The days are getting colder, the nights are getting longer, and as Christmas approaches the time is high for some ghostly tales. As an exclusive gift for Audible members, settle down, snuggle up and listen to four chilling ghost stories, read by Simon Callow. Four great stories, one master storyteller - what could be simpler than that?

Also featuring Sally Phillips, John Banks and Dan Starkey, this exclusive recording includes 'Between the Lights' by E.F. Benson, 'A Strange Christmas Game' by J.H. Riddell, 'Was It an Illusion' by Emelia B. Edwards and 'The Signalman' by Charles Dickens.

I rather enjoyed this collection of creepy stories.

The stories themselves were okay, nothing particularly brilliant except The Signalman by Charles Dickens.

What made this little audiobook so enjoyable was Simon Callow's narration. He was fantastic and made the stories sound much better than they actually are. He helped create a good old-fashioned camp-fire ghost story feel. The sound effects helped as well.
