About this listen

E. F. Benson's (1867-1940) ghost and supernatural stories are marvellous jewels, that combine elegant writing with moments of blood-curdling horror.

This collection comprises thirteen of his finest stories:

  • The Man Who Went Too Far
  • The Horror Horn
  • The Other Bed
  • Gavon's Eve
  • The Room in the Tower
  • Ali Abdul's Grave
  • How Fear departed from the Long Gallery
  • The Shootings of Achnaleish
  • The Dust-Cloud
  • The Confession of Charles Linkworth
  • Caterpillars
  • At the Farmhouse
  • The Bus-Conductor

Despite being a fan of these stories, I really struggled to get through this audiobook. Greg Wagland’s reading was dull, lifeless and uninspired. It takes real talent to make Benson’s ghost stories boring, but Wagland’s plodding tones sent me to sleep more than once.

Distinctly NOT recommended. Try Mark Gatiss’s readings instead.

Classic stories, lifeless reading
