When I was in high school, I use to be in the AV room listening to the classic Caedmon recordings (on vinyl) with the voice talents of Basil Rathbone, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, James Mason, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and many others narrating classic abridgements of classic stories.The Caedmon imprint was one of quality...I spent many hours listening to stories and tales that enthralled me. What I realized was my favorites were the horror stories. After I left school, I still remembered the thrills of listening to these classic works told by talented voice actors
Recently, in a gift to myself and my inner child, I bought a copy of this collection. I, then like a kid in a candy store, drooled over the track list of the CD

I put this six cd collection in my players and time turned back. I was reliving my past and listening to the magic of the words. It is amazing to listen to a great horror story in the fall. It does not have to be Halloween to enjoy this voices. This collection is great to get get your children to listen to classics that they may never read..or listen to tales of classic horror you have not read in years
Go get this collection and share it with your family

I had purchased the Edgar Allen Poe Audio Collection and was satisfied enough to go ahead and buy this collection. It was a worthwhile buy and not just another audio book
Though the readings of Dracula, Frankenstein and the others are abridged. The material is so expertly edited and performed that you get a true feel of works at hand without them coming across as butchered masterpieces. (My personal favorite is James Mason's sepulchral reading of Frankenstein)After listening you'll likely be motivated to seek out the source material and find out what is missing from these recordings.
With six CDs clocking in at six and one half hours you get some bang for the buck.

If you've a taste for terror filled tales you'll find the best of them on this recent release from Harper Audio Books. Included are such tried and true classics as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Flying Dutchman, and The Ghost Ship.
Performances are delivered by masters of the genre:Vincent Price chillingly reads The Gold Bug, while the unforgettable voice of James Mason renders selections from Frankenstein.
There's not a ghost of a chance that you won't enjoy these spooky, spectral stories.

I got this for my kids who are 2 and 5. They love it but so did I. It is realy ment for a man my age (37) because it covers some of the great writings of the horror genre. The usage of the English language is so eliquint that I can not help but wonder how we as a society could be so rich in invention yet have sunk so low in our comand of the English language. This audio CD was great and I recomend it to all who want a taist of early horror stories.
