A selection of seven classic ghost stories set in the season of falling leaves and lengthening shadows, by authors including M. R. James, Charles Dickens, Amelia B. Edwards, Charlotte Riddell, Edith Nesbit and Bernard Capes. Story timestamps: 00:01:40 Was It An Illusion, by Amelia B. Edwards (1881) 00:55:27 The Trial for Murder, by Charles Dickens (1865) 01:28:33 The Tractate Middoth, by M. R. James (1907) 02:15:00 Walnut-Tree House, by Charlotte Riddell (1878) 03:20:29 Man-size in Marble, by Edith Nesbit (1887) 03:59:18 The Corner House, by Bernard Capes (1909) 04:39:18 The Shadow in the Corner, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1879) These stories are already available on the channel as individual uploads if you prefer to listen that way, although I've taken the opportunity while producing this anthology to remaster and re-edit some of the older recordings. (Note: as they were recorded episodically you may notice a slight variation in acoustic/audio quality between stories.)

Hi Simon. Great collection that you put together for us. Absolutely great that you are busy with acting and delighting people all over the UK with your talent. I know how busy you are and I refrain from posting comments like I did previously as you have such a volume. I am now posting with a bit of news. No doubt you may have heard but if not then like all horror story devotees then you will be glad to hear that a Bram Stoker story "Gibbet Hill" has been discovered by Brian Cleary a researcher at the National Library of Ireland. This was a great find as it has been undiscovered for decades. Even biographers were unaware of it. Glad to know that your great channel goes from strength to strength. As always wishing you continued health and happiness and continued success in all your future endeavours. God Bless.

Thank you for the service that you offer the public, whether they in your community acknowledge it or not. As a traveler, I notice your presence and the lack there of it in places. It makes a difference whether I stop and patronize that city. You are appreciated, your presence makes an impact.

I have been a voracious reader all my life and find it hard to read books as I get older, so I greatly enjoy these narrations. Like with my books, I would often go back and read a favorite again, and it was like visiting with an old friend. I get that same feeling with these compilations, as I have listened to these stories before, and now I visit them again with a sense of warm welcoming. Thanks, Simon.

Thank you for the enjoyable reading. The way of reading is often more important than the content of a story. Like the way a book is written is at least as important as the content. I have listened to quite a few readers, you are the one I don’t get tired of.

As I have some time at my disposal, may I take the liberty as to thank you, kind Sir, for this true oasis in a desert of artificially narrated stories that were mostly coughed up by artificial intelligence, I would guess. Thank you very kindly, Sir, for your clear articulation, your choice of stories, from which I do learn a lot, English being only my second language, and your outstanding performance narrating these wonderful stories.
