title: Classic Ghost Stories
author: Charles Dickens
description: The sensitivity and sentiment of bygone days are evoked with satisfying results. Michael Williams's richly textured British voice perfectly reflects prose crafted by Dickens, Bierce, Stoker, and others. Relive the harrowing and hushed tale of Bierce's "Moonlit Road," the blackly humorous "Judge's House" by Stoker, and the fear and sorrow in "The Mystery of the Semi-Detached" by E. Nesbit. The writing is as engrossing as Williams's close-to-the-mike, sometimes gruff, occasionally strained, sometimes gentle voice. D.J.B.
