Very interesting to listen to some classic horror stories. Fantastic narration. But not so scary.

The use of sound effects. Totally unnecessary. Stephen Fry has an exceptional voice that does not need anything extra added to increase the “atmosphere” - just the vocals are enough

All the stories were excellently narrated and well chosen.

Beautifully narrated, spooky enough for a stormy night story...it lulled me to sleep each night leaving me in a eerie suspance!

narrated beautifully

Loved the stories, loved the narration however, the background sound effects became distracting. I sometimes listen in the car and had to keep turning off the story to make sure some clank or other wasn’t the car. That said at home it was a compendium of thoroughly enjoyable yarns.

Great Stories - possibly too many effects..

A pleasant listen but not scary or even spooky. Would love more spookiness. However Stephen Fry can read anything and I’d want to listen to him!

What a treat. Perfect for the fall & cosy winter evenings by the fire. At first, I was unsure about the sound effects, but after a couple of minutes I got used to them and they really create a beautiful atmosphere. Even gave me a jumpscare once.
Thank you, Mr. Fry, I cannot wait what you will do next.

Absolutely marvelous
