Editor reviews
The combination of fantastic sound effects (ghostly laughs, a fainting housekeeper, a speeding carriage) and Rupert Degas's expert performance guarantees that listeners are in for a treat. After hearing about its resident ghost, an American family nevertheless takes up residence in a haunted mansion. Degas presents American and English accents to perfection. His comic delivery is hilarious on lines such as this utterance to the ghost: "I must insist that you oil those chains." The moving conclusion completes an enjoyable listening experience.

its the shortest book I have listened to.

Great performance, questionable sound effects
We loved this book! The Acting was fabulous, but unfortunately the use of special effects was rather annoying. The "additional" sounds were not needed - sound effects rarely add to the story, if ever! - and were at times distracting. Other than that, fabulous audiobook.
