Feeling a chill amidst the warmth of the season? Sensing a shadow lurking behind the tinsel and lights? Experience the darker visions hidden within our brightest holiday. Come listen to the water ghost's story as she spends Christmas Eve haunting Harrowby Hill. Listen as Charles Dickens examines the figure which haunts "The Signalman," and Edgar Allan Poe details the secret of "The Oval Portrait." You'll shiver as "The Monkey's Paw" twitches grimly in the cold and enjoy Mark Twain's fascinating yarn about a ghostly giant warming himself at the fireplace.

Sixteen unabridged tales of spirits to playfully darken the holidays and add chill to a winter's night:

These are a great selection of stories, but I am rather sick of "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens, it's in far too many collections.

If only it didn't have the Signalman

I'm a fan of classic ghost stories, so I purchased this audiobook and looked forward to listening to it. I am not impressed with it - the narrators are...okay at best. Some stories and narration was good (like Hodgson's "From the Tideless Sea"), but mostly bad. Also, I'm not a fan of humorous ghost stories, so if you're like me and aren't a fan, watch out as there's a few in this collection. Skip this one.
