    perfection
    Can’t even say how much I love this podcast. This creator is amazingly talented so many of the stories are his own, which is refreshing. I love the fact that it’s only the story there’s no chatting before or after and no commercials it’s heaven to listen to. Thank you so much.!

    Most Excellent!!!
    The talent of the narrator plus the production that has gone into these stories is absolutely fantastic. He does many accents (all over Great Britain and even a decent New York film-noir style American accent). I can’t say enough praise for what a package each story is. Many a journey into the macabre, the spooky, some psychological horror, etc. He even reads us some of his own creations. Perfect choices made for background music and even some sound effects. Top-notch!!!

  • I used to love this...
    Love this podcast
    Jasper L'Estrange's story selection, production, narration, and sound effects are second to none. I found him through Tony Walker and I'm so glad I did. Sometimes I have to listen to the same story three or four times because I listen to them as I fall asleep, his voice and the music are so soothing. I hope he is able to keep narrating these stories for a long, long time.

    Fantastic!
    I am so impressed with both the continent and quality of production in this collection. It’s truly a treat to have such convenient access to such an extensive array of both famous, and also not so well-known pieces of horror and suspense, literature. This is one of my favorite podcasts in this genre. I can’t say enough about the narrator and his talent. I also have to express my appreciation to the individuals doing the sound mixing and music for this production as well. They are all very talented and excellent at what they do. thank you!

  • Opal Castmin
    Good obscure stories, read and recorded very well
    I'm really impressed by what I've listened to so far. The old stories seem chosen for their enduring appeal. The readings are expressive and feel true to the time period in which each tale is set. Decent audio effects.

  • Piper Lauderdale
    Such a Fun Creepy Podcast!
    Addicted to horror fiction podcasts lately and this is one of my favorites. Great story selection and the narrator is very talented. The sound design is so moody and really builds an atmosphere. I’ve binged all the episodes and now I can’t wait for more.

    A True Hidden Gem
    I was amazed to discover this excellent compendium of stories — why isn’t it more well known?! The reader, Jasper L’Estrange, is really really really good. The different voices he gives the characters add a lot of color. I also very much appreciate that this is so tastefully done: no garish commercials or blather - what a relief in comparison with 99.9% of the podcasts out there. Thank you, Jasper! You are much appreciated by this listener!!

    Absolutely GOLD
    I am so thrilled that I discovered this creepy lil’ podcast! I’m a huge fan of horror anthology type of podcasts. I follow the NoSleep & CreepyPasta type, as well as the classic weird-tales type. But, I also wanted the classic, supernatural and gothic horror type and that’s what I’ve found here with your podcast! I love the narrator with his killer storytelling skills, along with the whole production: the choosing of stories and the music in the background!!! It’s ACES all around!! TOP NOTCH INDEED!!! My perfect “kiss good-night” podcast!! Now send me to dreamland and bring forth the nightmares!!! *Maniacal Laugh* 😈🖤

    Fantastic Story Choices
    Absolutely riveting. I am a huge fan of period ghost and horror stories, and while I’m finding a few familiar friends here I am also hearing tales I’ve never read or heard before. Brilliantly presented! M. L’Estrange’s voices are amazing, his sparse but effective sound effective evocative, and the accompanying music eeeeeerie. I love it! Rock on, tell on!
