Very Disappointing
Having been to the Wellcome Museum over 40 years ago many of the fascinating exhibits have stayed fresh in my memory ever since. I can't believe that this selection of tawdry items was the best that your chosen commentators could come up with from the wealth of medical phenomena available. What a missed opportunity

not for me
I thought slightly strangely put together. I got to chapter 3 and gave up. didn't enjoy the mix of commentary and story especially with the 1st chapter.

Wonderfully dark, beautiful pieces!
Loved every single one of these. The writing is gorgeously creepy and the music is so atmospheric.

Great listen!
I don't normally listen to non-fiction books but I really loved these! If I had to choose 'The vanitas' and 'the scolds bridle' would have to be my favourite. Would recommended to everyone.

Highly recommend
Scold's Bridal (Ep. 2) was my favourite. Ep. 1 & 6 were my least favourite, but I still enjoyed listening to them. Vanitas (Ep. 5) had the best narration in my opinion. I also liked the background explanations based on the objects before each episode, I found they added more context to the stories. Very enjoyable overall.

loved all but the 6th
really enjoyed 5/6 of these books. they were so well written and I loved the little bits at the beginning that explained more about the items.

Somewhat boring
Started really well and just got monotone throughout. Couldn't finish the 6th story, it put me to sleep.

Runs a nice gamut of creepy
Great series, listened to all 6 episodes in near succession as could not stop! Favorites were the Purcell and Braithwaite tales, but all were very good.

Wonderfully Dark
Laura Purcell is one of my favorite authors. Thrilled to hear her story and discover some new authors to binge read, Might make a Vanitas of my own.
