Here and Hereafter
Barry Pain
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This is a collection of stories by Barry Pain. While not all of these fall squarely into the genre of ghost and horror story, for which the author is so well-known until today, many of them will send chills down the spines of reader and listeners, and all of them are well-crafted and enjoyable. - Summary by Carolin (7 hr 15 min)

Reviews
Tedious short stories
A LibriVox Listener
The readers did a fine job. The two with accents took a little getting used to but, I thoroughly enjoyed the extra flair. The stories themselves, however, I found a bit tedious. Predictable.
