Ghost Story

By: Peter Straub

Narrated by: Buck Schirner

#1 New York Times bestselling author Peter Straub’s classic tale of horror, secrets, and the dangerous ghosts of the past...

What was the worst thing you’ve ever done?

In the sleepy town of Milburn, New York, four old men gather to tell each other stories - some true, some made-up, all of them frightening. A simple pastime to divert themselves from their quiet lives.

But one story is coming back to haunt them and their small town. A tale of something they did long ago. A wicked mistake. A horrifying accident. And they are about to learn that no one can bury the past forever...

Terrible Narrator, As Usual

Get it together, Audible. It's becoming the norm for me to return books more often than I listen to them.

“What’s the worse thing you’ve ever done?”

Great story!
Wonderful in-depth characters.
They pull you close and whisper in your ear, “I’m going to tell you the worse thing that’s ever happen to me.”
Buck brings you into Straub’s world and won’t let go home.

slow to start, slow to finish

this story is by no means bad, but it really takes a while to get going and it was difficult for me to keep track of the characters. I think this story may be more enjoyable to read than to listen to as I kept kind of losing focus.

good story, but a little long winded.

good scary story. trim a little. you get lost in parts. why the little girl, that made no sense

Just Okay

Not a bad story, but way too much exposition, too many characters and FAR too much useless blabbity-blah. It could be 5 hours less and much more concise. The narrator is less aggravating if you speed it up to 1.25 or so. Elements of The Shining and Dracula... just get to the dang point already!
