    About this audiobook

    Critically-acclaimed audiobook reader BARNABY EDWARDS (Doctor Who, The Voyage Of The Beagle, Space Danger) performs 11 tales of ghostly gothic spookiness. From tales of Vampyres and spirits, to devil’s deals and ethereal coachmen. Short but oh so sweet, these 11 stories from some of the most lauded authors of the Gothic period, prove that you only need a few pages to tell a truly terrifying tale.
