An Evening's Entertainment: The Complete Ghost Stories of M R James

Brilliantly read by David Collings. I remember him from a BBC play a long time ago, 'Crime and Punishment', in which he played Raskolnikov and have always thought of him as an excellent actor.

His voice provides just the right atmosphere for these stories and I'm sorry I'll soon be coming to the end of them.

Its a pity the BBC or some other organisation has not produced more of the stories on TV, as its been some time since the series of Ghost Stories for Christmas has been produced.
