Eh, OK I guess

Not scary but OK for a free book. Didn't really care for the whining voice of the narrator but like I said, it was free so for that price it was OK.

Really scary

Loved it. This was incredibly intriguing. Well performed and subtle - perfect for a scary ghost story.

Great Short, Spooky Story, not great Narration

This was a great short story about a haunted mansion and how a photographer finds it isn’t empty. Great atmospheric story. Needed a better narrator.

Narrator wasn’t a good choice

It’s a good story. Narration style didn’t fit the mood or storyline. Like another listener, I kept zoning out-on a short story!

Neatly written, neatly performed.

The sporadic cutaways throughout the story are enhanced by the steady delivery of the narrator,

Hard to listen to…

The narrator, Warrior, is AWFUL. Had to keep going back to re-listen because the narrator is so bad I kept zoning out. Sounded as though he was reading an instruction manual. Based on the other reviews, it may just be me who disliked the narrator so much. Story was pretty good, ending was interesting tho I would have appreciated some more details about the mother.
Nice, short listen

Very atmospheric and very creepy.

The story is only 30 minutes but it draws you in. I just found this author and I've really enjoyed listening to his work.

A tight short spellbinder

A terrific story, concise with hummanizinh elements. One of my favorires so far by this author. Keeps you engrossed as it moves stealthily forward into greater horror.
