3 Stories - Supernatural Set in India

Mark Rice-Oxley nails this collection, and it’s a relief to hear a narrator who understands the weight of silence as much as the power of dramatic delivery. His voice has a velvety warmth that makes the first story, set in a crumbling haveli, feel like a ghostly bedtime tale—until the moment the whispers start, and his tone drops into something unsettlingly hollow. The second story, about a cursed railway journey, is where things get truly gripping; Rice-Oxley’s ability to modulate his cadence into something almost mechanical, mimicking the relentless clatter of a train, sells the dread perfectly. That said, the third tale stumbles slightly—the pacing drags in its final act, and the resolution feels more abrupt than earned. Still, the production is crisp, with no muffled audio or awkward pauses, and the editing ensures the supernatural elements hit when they should. If you’ve ever wanted Indian folklore with a side of goosebumps, this is a bite-sized but potent option.
