Tales

A classic collection of haunting stories by Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and more. A vengeful phantom lurks in a country graveyard. A whaling crew becomes trapped on a haunted ship. A human skull is kept locked in a cupboard-but sometimes at night, it screams... This collection of tales transports the listener to a time when staircases creaked in old manor houses, and a candle could be blown out by a gust of wind-or by a passing ghost. Penned by some of the greatest Victorian novelists and masters of the ghost story genre, each comes to life in this vivid rendition. Ghostly Tales: Spine-Chilling Stories of the Victorian Age is skillfully narrated by Kristina Fuller Yuen.
