Sir Derek Jacobi reads a collection of tales from the master of ghost stories, M. R. James, whose stories have for many years inspired the BBC's A Ghost Story for Christmas TV adaptations. M. R.

I thought this was a short, fun little collection of short stories. I will be purchasing more volumes for more fun spooky nights.

Shivery stories, excellent narration

Wonderfully shivery ghost tales, perfectly read by Sir Derek Jacobi. Good for a stormy night in October!

Good simple old school ghost stories

These stories remind me of ghost stories kids might tell one another on the playground in elementary school. They are ghost stories in the same way a Christmas Carol is a ghost story. They aren’t especially scary, more slice of life stories that might make people believe there really might be supernatural existence around us. All of the stories feel like snippets of bigger stories that could be told. The narration has good pacing and the stories are enjoyable.

Great Atmosphere

M. R. James… the best!
I loved the narration by Derek Jacobi and the atmosphere rendered by his performance.

Another great collection!

Another great collection by M.R. James. The cast did a wonderful job bringing these spooky tales to life. Perfect for an October read or for year-round horror lovers!
