While I've known about them for a while, I've never really had occasion to post about
Spoken World audio. They are an audiobook service out of the UK, and they mostly specialize in UK-specific providers like BBC audio, Fantom Films, and Big Finish. Their books are DRM-free and decent quality.
So why mention them now? They have a couple of new freebies that are worth mentioning. The only problem? They have holiday dyslexia - we get Halloween freebies for Christmas! Both pages say "***FREE FOR XMAS/NY 2018***" so these aren't likely to still be free at this time next year. If you're interested don't wait too long to check it out.
Quote:
The Victorian era is remembered for many things, but one of the fondest is the wide and varied array of short, ghostly, suspenseful tales…often enjoyed around the fireside at Christmas time.
In this new anthology, John Banks performs twelve of the very best, all written by incredibly talented, but oft-times overlooked or forgotten, authors. Once you tire of Dickens and James, these are the true masters of short-form suspense:
• “The Steel Mirror” by W.W. Fenn
•“A Real Country Ghost Story” by Albert Smith
•“The Weird Violinist” by Anonymous
•“Walsham Grange: A Real Ghost Story” by E. Morant Cox
•“Haunted” by Coulson Kernahan
•“Nicodemus” by Alfred Crowquill
•“The Veiled Portrait” by James Grant
•“The Ghost Chamber” by Anonymous
•“The Doll’s Ghost” by F. Marion Crawford
•“How Peter Parley Laid A Ghost: A Story of Owl’s Abbey” by Anonymous
•“The Ghost’s Summons” by Ada Buisson
• “A Terrible Retribution; or, Squire Orton’s Ghost” by Anonymous
