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

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.

James' work is marked by an affection for humanity - not just in their beauty but in their vulnerability. The narration and the text both show that affection to full display so even the gruff and the prickly are honoured with kindness and understanding.

These stories have a kindness for owls

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.

The classics (some of them)

This was an entertaining and spooky collection. I bought it in October and it really put me in the mood for Halloween. The narration is done with multiple actors and well acted. I highly recommend this for horror lovers!

Great cast!
