excellent collection
Even as a child I never found ghost stories particularly frightening, but more mysterious and (when they're good) atmospheric. This collection perfectly fits the bill. The only drawback is the narrator, who over does it, sounding terrified before anything remotely spooky has happened, leaving him with nowhere to go as the story develops, other than way over the top. In fact, at times he almost sounds like a voice put through a ring-modulator (early Dr. Who.) That being said, this remains a thoroughly enjoyable collection.

A Selection of Victorian and Edwardian Ghost Stories
Overall, a good selection of stories, highlights including; the phantom Coach, The signalman, The sand walker & Mr Humphries and his inheritance.
As I say, some hit the spot, and some fall short, but overall a good selection.
Simon Stanhope’s narration is adequate.
Recommended.

Enjoyable
In general, I enjoyed this very much. Some stories, of course, were better than others but most were interesting enough to hold the attention. I loved the old fashioned tone of the vocabulary and idiom; the narration was excellent.

Enjoyable ghost stories
I do like a good ghost story and many of these stories were very enjoyable and in some cases, quite creepy. I liked the narrator too.
