AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

John Telfer's nuanced performance truly elevates 'A Phantom Lover.' His voice conveys the right mix of intrigue and unease as the artist navigates the Okes' dark history. The pacing is impeccable—slowing down during suspenseful moments while accelerating during climactic revelations, making every minute count. Lee’s writing is poetic yet unsettling, capturing the essence of gothic horror with a vivid palette that brings to life the haunting tale of Okehurst and its spectral legacy. While some may find the supernatural elements a bit predictable, Telfer's engaging delivery ensures this audiobook remains an absorbing listen. A must for fans of classic horror literature who appreciate well-crafted narratives and strong vocal performances.
