About this listen
This is a story from The Moonlit Road collection.
These five 19th-century ghost stories from both sides of the Atlantic provide some of the best chills in the genre. Ambrose Bierce is well-known, but "To Let" by B. M. Croker and "The Upper Berth" also provide moments to tingle the spine, as does "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances" by Le Fanu. This collection, which is further enhanced by suitably chilling music, was originally released under the title Classic Chilling Tales 3.

Ambrose Bierce's 1907 gothic horror story examines the death of a woman from three difference perspectives. Also called "Bitter Bierce", the American author made a name for himself with his economy of words and critical eye. At just under 25 minutes, this piece proves haunting. The performers, including Jonathan Keeble, give chilling performances. Each perspective feels distinctive in sound, with unique word patterns, pacing, and tone. The actor who plays the dead woman gives a particularly eerie performance; her enchanting rhythm and tenor, soft as a feather, hypnotizes. Had a moonlit road a voice, it would be hers.
