About this listen

Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835-1915), little known now, but a renowned writer in her time, gives us five tales of the "weird" as she might herself have said. Here we have five of her better known stories, peopled with jilted lovers, blood thirsty old ladies, and grand, old houses whose restless ancestors refuse to abandon them!

The five tales: "The Cold Embrace", "The Shadow in the Corner", "At Chrighton Abbey", "Good Lady Ducayne", and "Eveline's Visitant".

I’ve had to stop listening to this as it is being read by a robot. Very offputting

I couldn't get into the book because of the dire style of the narration. I tried several times but the person telling the story had a highly unusual and irritating way of moving from high to low inflection whilst reading long sentences without drawing a breath. Very off putting!
