Really enjoyed all the shorter stories but the wendigo is read better by others.
Not to take away the narrators expertise he is excellent. The kit bag is very unsettling and scary.
A great collection of stories very well read.

Excellent stories, Well read.

These are absolutely splendid tales of mystery and the occult by a master storyteller, read by a person who simply cannot do accents. The default accent is Mangled Mummerset - Irish, Scottish, French - doesn't matter, it's all West Country faux-peasant. Combine with the curious vocal timing and it's a very strange listen.

Strange tales, strange reader

Wonderfully written stories, which carry a genuine chill. Very strange pronunciations of many words by the narrator. Really so “off” at times, that I wondered if English was his first language!

Great stories

Good stuff :thoughtfull +imaginative. The top title :"The Wendigo" is a long short story, set in the Canadian wilderness at the end of the 19th cen, about a malign wind spirit. It is inspired by Indian myths. It's hard to over recommend it, in my estimation, as an outstanding example of the 'weird' /supernatural tale.
