What would have made Haunting Stories better?

These writers do not know the definition of 'haunting'. They are bleak bearing on almost dead.

Would you ever listen to anything by the authors again?

Possibly.

Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobson’s performances?

NO

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Haunting Stories?

I would not have cut anything out.... i would have put some semblense of haunting in...

Utter rubbish

I would rather listen to cats fighting in an alley than this narrator.. she has the most annoying voice, rather like she is being held at gunpoint whilst being stabbed with a fork whilst trying to read out loud. The scariest thing about this story is the reader's voice. Switched off after 3 minutes.

The Scariest Thing About This Is The Readers Voice

What disappointed you about Haunting Stories?

The reader was terrible. She read in such an affected way it was impossible to concentrate on the stories so I can't really comment on them. I am usually very impressed with the quality of readers but the opposite is the case here.

Has Haunting Stories put you off other books in this genre?

No, I'll just avoid anything that is read by her.

What didn’t you like about Cathy Dobson’s performance?

I have already said it all.

Any additional comments?

I don't know how someone so bad was allowed to be a reader.
