A review by chaosetc
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R. James
3.0
The version that I listened to had two volumes:
VOLUME 1
Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book
Lost Hearts
The Mezzotint
The Ash Tree
Number 13
Count Magnus
Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad
The Treasure of Abbot Thomas
VOLUME 2
A School Story
The Rose Garden
The Tractate Middoth
Casting the Runes
The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral
Martin's Close
Mr Humphreys and His Inheritance
Most of these stories were really tame. In the first volume, "Whistle and I'll Come to You" and "The Treasure of Abbot Thomas" both had a nice chilling moment near the end. Two of the better stories though were in the second volume. I liked both "The Tractate Middoth" and "Casting the Runes". The author also has a special fondness for old libraries, of which I heartily approve.
