M.
R. James is one of the finest English language ghostwriters ever
published. These short stories are not only classics of their genre, but
are outstanding examples of beautifully paced understated terror and
sociological horror - reaching to the dark expanse of the unconscious
mind.
Volume
One of 'Tales of the Supernatural' features the stories: 'Casting the
Runes', 'Rats', 'There was a Man Dwelt by a Churchyard', 'Number 13' and
'Lost Hearts' read by Gareth David-Lloyd, Ian Fairbairn and Geoffrey
Bayldon.
"There
are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of
reading them for the first time. For me, M.R. James is one of these."
