This collection of short stories contains several gothic tales to bear macabre and chilling witness to writers as diverse as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Elizabeth Gaskell, Edgar Allan Poe, Wilkie Collins, and Edith Nesbit. These tales are designed to unsettle you, just a little, while you sit back and take in their words as they lead you on a walk to places you’d perhaps rather not visit on your own.

Our stories are "The Wedding Knell" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Old Nurse's Story" by Elizabeth Gaskell, "The Premature Burial" by Edgar Allan Poe, "Dream Woman" by Wilkie Collins, and "The Ebony Frame" by Edith Nesbit. These stories are read for you by readers including Ian Holm, Ghizela Rowe, Bill Wallis, and Richard Mitchley.
