“Love the way you read this, but must point out that your bio notes were about the wrong A. Tolstoy. You said he was the Bolshevik who died in 1945. The Tolstoy who wrote Vourdalak was the A.K. Tolstoy who was born in 1817 and died in 1875. There’s an out of print book of his creepy stories called...”Read full review »

“Tony Walker is an ideal narrator of these stories, and a gifted writer himself. The podcast has become such an important part of my evenings that I hope it long continues. I’ve just listened to an old favorite, “Yhe Stalls of Barchester Cathedral,” but he has introduced me to many unfamiliar...”Read full review »

“I’ve been looking for a podcast with readings of classic ghost stories that focused on the stories without too much embellishment, and this fits the bill perfectly. I love the style of the readings and also the contextual notes at the end of the story with a little background on the author and...”Read full review »

“Admittedly I gravitate towards short stories of The New Yorker ~ but this podcast does a fabulous job inserting us into an old English drawing room, facing the hearth’s roaring fire while slowly being entranced by Tony’s reading of a classic story.”

“The choice of stories is good.
The narration is usually good.
Unfortunately, some stories are rendered laughable and lose all atmosphere by the narrator’s awful attempts at the characters’ accents. At best this is irritating, but at worst, if the accent he’s attempting is from your own part of...”Read full review »

“So happy to have found this show. Enjoying the fireside chats after the story almost as much as the readings themselves. His voice is calming, relaxing and his accent (dialect?) work is superb. To quote an old Split Enz song: “why don’t you give it a whirl‽””

“I’m a die hard fan of classic horror. I mean, I literally spend all day every day, working and listening to classic horror stories on podcasts or audible.
I follow several other podcasts of the same topic, but what truly stands out to me about your readings is the conversation after …well, I...”Read full review »

“The narrator is fantastic! My first listen was “The Masque of the Red Death,” and it was ten times more immersive and dramatic with the narrator’s excellent expression and tone! I can’t wait to listen to more while I’m working or going on little walks. Thanks for an excellent show!”

“I wish you would put the story teaser/what it is about in the episode description of each episode—I’m not interested in 4 paragraphs about the author’s life, but that’s what we get when we try and read it. Basically copy and pasted from Wikipedia—what’s the point? I prefer to know if an...”Read full review »

I consequently find Tony’s epilogues very helpful and often just as entertaining, or even more so than the text itself. My only slight...”Read full review »
