Not as good as the others

Didn't like this set of stories as much. Nothing scary at all about them. Not as good as the other stories.

Phenomenal Collection

This phenomenal collection of folk horror short stories by the incomparable M.R. James is made even better thanks to the vocal performance of master thespian Derek Jacobi.

Great narrator , great stories

Nothing , it was perfect narration of great classic ghost stories by the master horror writer .

The classics (some of them)

Not my favorite ones except for Warning and The Mezzotint. The performance is very good but Jacobi gets some points off for his Oxfordism, which I find silly. Not fair but that’s what happens. I will say that Neighbors Landmark which I very much like was really well done.
I think that intrinsically it’s not possible to read these aloud with as much creepiness as you can induce reading these alone in a dim room by yourself without any voices near you.

I love old ghost stories.

I really liked listening to the narrator. His voice + great old stories is a wonderful combination 😍
