    Classic ghost stories! M.R. James at his finest. A bit slow-paced for modern readers, but the atmosphere is top-notch. I enjoyed the dread.

  2. Aaditi

    Some genuinely creepy moments, but the language was a bit difficult to follow at times. Overall, an enjoyable but challenging read.

    A bit too slow and verbose for my taste. The stories were well-written, but I found myself losing interest. Not my favorite horror collection.
