Not too much meat on the bone, and I can't admit to feeling any kind of chill. Enjoyable enough.

This audiobook you includes 4 stories, I listened to 3 of them.
Though the narrator was clear, and expressive, none of the stories awed or frightened me.
I will try reading them instead in the hopes that my imagination is scarier than the narrator.

1) The Signalman by Charles Dickens
2) The Haunted Doll's House by M. R. James
3) The Room in the Tower by E. F. Benson
4) The Bus-Conductor by E. F. Benson

To be honest, I only listened to it for some background noise and as I know the signal man well, thought it would be in good company
The narrator, Andrew Sachs, has a voice which helped my brain keep on task and it was soothing to listen to.
