9 reviews for Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories

  1. Anmol Bansal

    I wanted to love this more, but some stories dragged. The annotations were a mixed bag – insightful at times, tedious at others.

  2. Anushtha Tiwari

    James’s writing is superb, and the stories are genuinely unsettling. Eagleton provides valuable insights, especially for understanding the historical context.

  3. Ravi Kumar

    Classic ghost stories, well-annotated. Perfect for a dark and stormy night! The introduction was a bit dry for my taste.

  4. Sourav Kumar Saw

    I loved the stories, but the annotations were hit or miss. Some added value, others felt like filler. Still a good read though.

  5. Kiran Sudhakar More

    M.R. James at his finest. The stories are genuinely creepy, and this edition offers great context. Some notes felt unnecessary though.

  6. Rohit Rajdhar

    A decent collection of ghost stories. I didn’t always agree with Eagleton’s interpretations, but it made me think about the stories differently.

  7. Krishna Priya K P

    Enjoyable collection! Eagleton’s notes were interesting, but sometimes felt a bit too academic and distracted from the spooky atmosphere. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  8. Nikhil Garg

    Count Magnus is a great story. The annotations were sometimes helpful, but sometimes broke the immersion of the story. Good collection overall.

  9. Bhavana Dubey

    M. R. James is a master of horror. This edition really brings to life the eerie atmosphere! A must-read for ghost story fans.
