Great Supernatural Stories from H G Wells

I enjoyed listening to these old-style tales from H G Wells, none of which I had heard before. Coming in at one hour and twenty minutes I powered through this in one day during my commute. The narrator was excellent and did some great voices for the stories. Recommended!
