When Harold Merefield returned home in the early hours of a winter morning from a festive little party at that popular nightclub, the Naxos, he was startled by a gruesome discovery. On his bed was a corpse. There was nothing to show the identity of the dead man or the cause of his death. At the inquest, the jury found a verdict of ‘death from natural causes’ - perhaps they were right, but yet?

Very dated, not in a good way
Revisado: 02-25-19
Every plot point is telegraphed a mile away, and the characters aren't defined enough to compensate. VERY heavy anti-Semitic stereotyping. The style is "tell, don't show". Interesting as an artefact of the time if Golden Age detective novels are you thing, but I'd go for stronger novels, Iles or Sayers. Narrator does his best with thin material.

Andrew Sachs reads these four classic stories of suspense - "The Signalman" by Charles Dickens, "The Haunted Doll's House" by M. R. James, "The Room in the Tower" by E. F. Benson, and "The Bus-Conductor" by E. F. Benson. These spine-tingling tales, from the golden age of the ghost story, are sure to leave you with a creeping sense of dread.

Four classic tales that retain the power to chill.

Would you listen to Chilling Ghost Stories again? Why?
I bought this collection even though I had read each of the tales more than once before getting the audio version. Ghost stories, especially ones as well-written as these, are better when read aloud.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Chilling Ghost Stories?
E.F. Benson's "The Tower" has always creeped me out; Sachs really sells the climax of the story.
What does Andrew Sachs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Andrew Sachs brings the right note of suspense along with normalcy that makes the supernatural elements extra creepy.
If you could rename Chilling Ghost Stories, what would you call it?
Not recommended for bedtime listening.
