Now THIS is superb narration. Great selections, fine acting, lovely accents (could use a tiny bit more work on American Englishđ) intelligent commentary. Donât miss Tonyâs own well written stories. If you like M R James or Shirley Jackson, youâll love this.
Great stories that make you think. Thanks for the narration and commentary Tony Walker
Tony has done a fantastic job narrating a huge number and variety of ghost stories! Such a great way to access these tales and I love his analysis at the end, as well as all bonus dog-related content. Thanks for filling my Winter with excellently narrated spookiness!
I thoroughly enjoy these!!! You know, you (Iâm addressing Tony directly) mention people complaining about various things about your reading. I donât get it. Donât listen to them! Youâre great!
Love these readings, thank you so much! Its too bad there aren't more, it would be great to have more Robert W Chambers, and other weird tales of the Art Nouveau era. Or could you do a "Classic Vampires and Monster stories" ? That would be fun.
