Boo

Not my taste in narrators ...if you truly want fantastic ghost stories look to YouTube-horror and find Peter Yearsly reading M.R. James....the gold standard in narration

Narrators voice grated

Otherwise the stories were good! Due to the “voice” I couldn’t listen for too long. The performer’s voice was irritating to my ears, but that might have been just me.

Cute! I would purchase further volumes

If you could sum up Great Classic Ghost Stories in three words, what would they be?

fun, entertaining, road trip worthy

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

There were a lot of cute spooky stories. You're probably not going to walk away from this read suffering from nightmares or actually scared but I thought it was a fun spooky narrative for a road trip. I would buy other volumes.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Brings you back to campfires and smores. A fun, nostalgic narrative.

Any additional comments?

very cute, I would repurchase this or future volumes.
