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:

- "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.
