What to expect

Feel the breathtaking tingle of suspense. Share the captivating horror of the supernatural in these six complete stories presented by a masterful reader.

This audio recording includes:

- “A Watcher by the Dead” by Ambrose Bierce—A corpse brings death, dereliction, and madness to those who would play with it.

- “The Body-Snatchers” by Robert Louis Stevenson—A never-ending demand for bodies for medical dissection delivers nightly horrors.

- “Adventure of the German Student” by Washington Irving—A German student, caught up in the tempestuous times of the French Revolution, is intoxicated by the beauty of a stranger, and pledges himself to her forever.

- “Dick on the Devil” by J. Sheridan Le Fanu—Barwyke Hall, isolated and sinister, is haunted by both the living and the dead.

- “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe—The melancholy House of Usher afflicts its owner with a morbid gloom. Justifiably considered one of the best stories of this genre ever written.

- “The Open Window” by Saki—A nervous newcomer is overcome by a surprising visit!
