Jacques narrates seven of his own tales of ghostly meetings, mischievous vampires and paranormal happenings. The stories will readily capture the attention of any listener, although adjusting to the Scottish pronunciations may take time. He tells the tales, rather than reading or performing them, and the lively animation keeps the listener absorbed in the action. Jacques adroitly performs several other accents that greatly enhance the emotional atmosphere of the stories, especially the macabre humor. His vampire voices sound authentic enough for Dracula. Only his attempt at a Texas accent falls short. A bewitching listening experience told by a master storyteller. P.A.J. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
