I love Peter Yearsly’s voice and is the perfect narrator. The tales will make the small hairs to stand erect and a chill go up your spine. Thank you LibriVox.

I found the first story the spookiest. The others set the imagination working.So glad you read this book, Peter, your voice has the perfect tone.

Well narrated. A couple of the stories end quite abruptly, even for ghost stories. Fairly typical James.
