Rather dull
This book contains 10 short stories; many based on sea voyages dealing with strange things; phantoms only half glimpsed; ghosts and other supernatural phenomena discussed by their effect on others. Much of it is in the form of diaries. I had hoped for more.

Great Tales, decent audio quality.
This was the 3rd collection of short stories I purchased through Audible and by far the best. The other two were very difficult to listen to due to poor audio quality and substandard readers. The sound quality and reader in this one are nothing to write home about but they don't spoil the fine stories.

geez guys, lighten up.
I listen to audiobooks on long drives. The narrator was a little stilted, but I had no trouble getting into the stories and I have the attention span of a gnat. These stories are old, don't expect Hollywood blockbuster twists and surprises. I enjoyed these tales and was sad to reach the end.

Take it for what its worth
Not Sherlock Holmes but a good example of Victorian-era ghostie stories. If you like HR Haggard, this might be interesting too. Good audio quality but narrator's attempt at accents are not that successful.

Not his better work
This is very period stuff, typical of the romantic style popular. It's not at all like Sherlock Holmes. Rather disappointing.

Difficult to listen to
Narrator’s accents are infuriating. Difficult to listen to. I missed much of the story. Pass on this one

Horrible Accents by Narrator. Couldn't take it.
Horrible Accents by Narrator. Couldn't take it. The quasi-pirate voice was bad enough, but his "slave" voice.... just AWFUL.

mixed bag
These stories are mostly okay with nothing spectacular. I'm not a fan of the narrator's sing song cadence which can be distracting. Also there are some odd mispronunciations.

Don't waste your time
A couple of the stories were very good, a couple very bad. Conan Doyle's genius seems mostly limited to the Holmes stories. The reader was, without a doubt, the absolute worst I have encountered. His tempo was irritatingly jerky, his mispronunciations many and grating, and his attempts at dialectical accents embarrassingly awful. If you like Conan Doyle, avoid this recording.
