About this listen

 A compilation of five chilling stories from M.R. James, including four previously unreleased stories and originally recorded for the Radio 4 Woman's Hour in Christmas 2007.

MR James is an important part of the nation's celebration of Christmas. In the oral tradition, many of his 30 or so tales were penned as Christmas Eve entertainments and read aloud to gatherings of friends.

Excellent concise versions with great acting. Right on the nail. Enough left for the imagination to engage.

Excellent versions of classic stories

definately not one to listen to late at night. tried 3 by this author and this one is the best. only complaint, doesn't give titles of stories. fine if you're familar with his works, but not so good for a newbie

An excellent dramatization of some of the best M. R. James short ghost stories ever written. It’s interesting to learn how many times the author used a dream sequence in his stories but these are short plays recorded by actors. It might have been nice to know who the other voices were and who composed the music which really does enhance the dialogue. The acting is pretty much superb though occasionally it is less so and the best of it is each play is short so it’s great as inserts to the main event if there is one during the festival of Halloween but don’t listen alone or if you do you might prefer to sleep the night through with the light on that is always assuming you sleep at all after listening to this.

Don’t listen aloone especially on a dark wet night
