Mrs. Zant and the Ghost by Wilkie Collins

*An Audio Short Story Review      Mrs. Zant and the Ghost is not a scary story, but a sweet one.  Narrated by Gillian Anderson, the short story by Wilkie Collins is brought to life.  Just not a good life...

     The story tells of a woman dealing with the spirit of her long, lost husband.  She needs help because her brother-in-law is quietly taking advantage of her.  Lucky for her, in comes a good samaritan...  

     I appreciate the story and Collins, but this tale was severly hurt by the narration.  Anderson's monotoned voice and lack of inflection made it difficult for me to enjoy., thus I found myself totally uninterested.  I may grab an ebook version to be fair about the story, but for now...

     I wanted to like this story from the Victorian era, but sadly, I feel the narration  developed a callous that prevented me.  As for the story itself, I think I sorta liked it... I think.  If I do purchase the ebook, I'll come back and revise my review, but for now, I'm off to the next read!
