About this listen
Three classic tales from the golden age of the ghost story, read by Andrew Sachs, Laurel Lefkow and Steven Pacey.
1. Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook by M.R. James
2. The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
3. The Beast with Five Fingers by W.F. Harvey
A collector of antiquities acquires a priceless ancient book in Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook - only to find that something evil hides within its pages.
A young wife becomes obsessed with the wallpaper in the room of her holiday home in The Yellow Wallpaper. A man is tormented by the embalmed hand of his deceased uncle in The Beast with Five Fingers. For the protagonists of these three supernatural stories, ghostly terror lurks beneath the surface of ordinary life, and reality can all too easily fray at the seams....
Evocatively read by three of our finest actors, and with atmospheric music, these eerie, enthralling tales are perfect listening for dark winter nights.

No Terror here
I tried but could not listen to this. I hated the yellow wallpaper. sounded more like insanity than horror.
I did not enjoy any of the stories. They did not feel very supernatural or ghostly or terrifying. The characters were not sympathetic and I did not relate to any of them. All a bit old and dusty.
Not listening to any more of this title. Just my opinion you may love it.

Ghost Stories
A nice few ghost stories, not scary but slightly odd. Felt rather let down, narrative was alright but not one of the best story tellers, by Sir Derek Jacobi.

Overall not too bad
A few short stories not frightening at all but the first one was the best. One of the included audios so if you want something for a couple of hours this does just nicely.
The narration was also very good.

Listen just to ‘the yellow wallpaper’
The first and final stories are not worth bothering with, but the second, entitled ‘the yellow wallpaper’ is well worth a listen. Since it’s free I would suggest just listening to this one.
