It is a winter&apos;s evening in the historic university town of Cambridge at the end of the nineteenth century. In college rooms, a group of friends gathers. A fire flickers in the grate and, silently, Montague Rhodes James places a lighted candle by his chair, shuffles his papers, and begins to read… So the classic ghost stories of M. R. James were presented to the world. Now, in this definitive 4-part recording, are collected all of James&apos;s published tales of &apos;pleasing terror&apos;.
The 13 stories featured in Voume Four are: The Haunted Dolls&apos; House; There was a Man Dwelt by a Churchyard; After Dark in the PlayingFields; The Fenstanton Witch; A Neighbour&apos;s Landmark; A View From a Hill; A Warning to the Curious; An Evening&apos;s Entertainment; Wailing Well; Rats; The Experiment; The Malice of Inanimate Objects; A Vignette.

The Complete Ghost Stories of M. R. James, Vol. 4 (Unabridged)

M. R. James wrote, arguably, the finest supernatural tales in English literature, and this collection contains the best of them, including &apos;Canon Alberic&apos;s Scrapbook&apos;, &apos;Oh, Whistle, and I&apos;ll Come To You, My Lad&apos;, &apos;Lost Hearts&apos;, &apos;Casting the Runes&apos;, and &apos;Count Magnus&apos;. James was something of an actor and gifted storyteller and read his tales aloud to select gatherings on many a Christmas Eve. His intention, he said, was to implant in his listener the idea that, &apos;if I am not careful, something of this kind might happen to me!&apos; James (1862-1936) was an English medieval scholar and provost of King&apos;s College, Cambridge, and then Eton College. His ghost stories are beautifully crafted, ranging from the insidiously unsettling to the totally terrifying; his characters may catch the slightest movement out of the corner of their eye or hear, in the depths of the night, an indistinct rustling from a neighbouring bed. His professional interest in antiquarianism pervades many stories. He uses everyday contemporary settings like houses, omnibuses, hotels, golf courses, schools, and beaches, making the intrusion of the supernatural that much more unnerving. For Magpie Audio, narrator Greg Wagland relishes the opportunity to raise a goose bump or two.

A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by Peter Hawkins.
If you find a locked room in a lonely inn, don't try to open it, even on a bright sunny day. If you find a strange whistle hidden among the stones of an old church, don't blow it. If a mysterious man gives you a piece of paper with strange writing on it, give it back to him at once. And if you call a dead man from his grave, don't expect to sleep peacefully ever again.
