Story
Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, best known for his evocative and beautifully narrated ghost stories. Caterpillars is the story of a strange visit to the mysterious Villa Cascana, where one bedroom is inexplicably always kept empty. The visitor feels uneasy immediately on arriving, although there is no obvious reason why he should. And then the nightmares begin.

Story
Ghost stories date back centuries, but those written in the Victorian era have a unique atmosphere and dark beauty. Michael Sims, whose previous Victorian collections Dracula’s Guest (vampires) and The Dead Witness (detectives) have been widely praised, has gathered twelve of the best stories about humanity’s oldest supernatural obsession. The Phantom Coach includes tales by a surprising and often legendary cast, including Charles Dickens, Margaret Oliphant, Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as lost gems by forgotten masters such as Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and W. F. Harvey. Amelia B. Edwards’s chilling story gives the collection its title, while Ambrose Bierce ("The Moonlit Road"), Elizabeth Gaskell ("The Old Nurse’s Story"), and W. W. Jacobs ("The Monkey’s Paw") will turn you white as a sheet. With a skillful introduction to the genre and notes on each story by Sims, The Phantom Coach is a spectacular collection of ghostly Victorian thrills.

Publisher's Summary
Mark Gatiss (Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones) reads chilling tales by the unsung master of the classic ghost story: E. F. Benson.
There's nothing sinister about a London bus. Nothing supernatural could occur on a busy train platform. There's nothing terrifying about a little caterpillar. And a telephone, what could be scary about that?
Don't be frightened of the dark corners of your room. Don't be alarmed by a sudden inexplicable chill. There's no need for a ticking clock, a limping footstep, or a knock at the door to start you trembling. There's nothing to be scared of. Nothing at all.

E.F. Benson Classics Excellently Read by Gatiss
Nine E.F. Benson stories read by Mr. Gatiss. I was pleasantly surprised by his performance - he has a great voice and did some enjoyable character acting. I thought his voice for Mrs. Amworth was more like a creepy old man and a bit out of place, but still entertaining. The stories in this audiobook are:
- Spinach
- In the Tube
- The Room in the Tower
- And No Bird Sings
- Negotium Perambulans
- The Man Who Went Too Far
- Mrs Amworth
- Caterpillars
- The Bus-Conductor
Highly recommended to classic horror fans!

Gatiss and Benson, a superb combination
I have been a fan of E.F. Benson's ghost stories for many years, and I am also a huge fan of Mark Gatiss, so to run across the combination was a true Christmas treat for me! Benson wrote some wonderful classic ghost stories and this is an excellent selection of some of his best, though of course I wish there were more here. He wrote a huge selection, and it would be lovely to have another volume read by this reader.
Gatiss is a superb reader. I wish we could have a collection of him reading M. R. James (the best ghost story writer to ever live, in my opinion) as I know Gatiss is a fan of James also and I feel sure he would read them splendidly. I also wish that Audible would provide us with Mr. Gatiss reading his own books. I know he has provided audio recordings of at least one of his works, how about getting them for us, Audible? Please?

Partway Through, but Wonderful!
Disclaimer: I have not heard all the stories yet.
Because these are very restrained, atmospheric stories you need to be in the right mood to listen.
Mark Gatiss is a wonderful narrator, perfect at maintaining a calm tone on the surface to give a sharper edge to the events. I get worried sometimes about a single narrator performing dialogue, but Gatiss is excellent at distinguishing characters without distractingly silly voices.

Utterly delicious!
This summer I am consumed with shivery, chilling, icy ghost stories;
I've made myself through the M.R. James canon, and this collection by E.F. Benson is terrific,
especially so because the narrator is Mycroft Holmes.. mmm, I mean Mark Gattis.
His stellar interpretations of the characters within is captivating, and his ironic, dry tone makes the horror
even more compelling. I want volume 2 please!~

Not for me
I listened to about 75% of this collection and just stopped. I honestly do not like some of the narrator's voices as they are irritating beyond belief to me, and the stories do not seem to flow well and end abruptly. I had to playback the last minute or so of more than one story to try and understand the ending.
Stick with M. R. James.

Masters of their crafts!
Firstly, it was a thrill to discover that E F Benson, a fairly new love of mine, is a firm favourite of Mark Gatiss, who is a genius in his own right. His narration of these spooky tales is without peer, they grip you and don't let go. Gatiss inhabits the dozens of different characters with very distinct nuances, and does so effortlessly. This collection has been an absolute blessing for many otherwise banal car drives.

Have you listened to any of Mark Gatiss’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Mark Gatiss is an excellent narrator and does an tremendous job with these tales.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Listened to the entire series of stories on one sitting while working on a knitting project. Kept me thoroughly entertained and engaged.
Any additional comments?
Good creepy fun, especially for those who enjoy old-fashioned ghost stories.

Nicely gothic.
I adored listening to this audible, Mark Gattis narrates wonderfully and the stories are just scary enough without being too gruesome or graphic. It depicts a different world (early 20th century) where there were still servants and people went to stay at country houses, where retired majors lived in quiet villages and played Bridge. Great to listen to as the day closes as the shadows get longer...

Better than M.R. James
What did you like most about E.F. Benson's Ghost Stories?
Obviously with ghost stories of this type and from this period in time comparison to James is inevitable. Whilst James' stories are undoubtedly excellent they always struck me as strangely soul less, almost clinical in their execution. Benson' stories however overflow with personality, wit and charm whilst being genuinely eerie. Beautifully worded and superbly performed the only fault with this is that it is way, way too short.

Thoroughly enjoyed these stories. Thank you
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes without hesitation. Mark Gatiss' narration was almost hypnotic, i was immersed in the story from a few lines in and held to the last. What more can you ask.
What does Mark Gatiss bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
understated tension and drama in the telling appealed to me. Enough for good effect without quashing my own imaginings.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but no less for that.
Any additional comments?
like a long walk down a dark and unfamiliar corridor with nothing but a flickering candle.
Excellent! thanks

E.F Benson's Ghost Stories read by Mark Gatiss
I have always thought that Benson's Ghost stories should be held in the same esteem as M R James. Those on this audio book are enhanced by the reader. Who better than Mark Gatiss! His voice alone,when in full creepy mode sends a shiver down the spine! Just wish there were more stories on th CD.

A wonderful reading of classic ghost stories
Would you listen to E.F. Benson's Ghost Stories again? Why?
As with all E.F. Benson stories these are entertaining and multi layered. His eye for detail is fantastic, it gives you such a vivid picture of the people and places.
What about Mark Gatiss’s performance did you like?
This was a revelation - such a beautiful voice, I was swept away by him. His voicing of the characters, the pace and tone, made this one of the best narrations I have ever listened to.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was spine chilling and fascinating - I wanted to listen to the whole thing in one sitting
Any additional comments?
A totally bewitching listen, I can only wish that Mark Gatiss will do many more readings.
