M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has
ever produced. These tales are not only classics of their genre,
but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced understatement,
convincing background and chilling terror. As well as the preface,
there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, 'Stories I Have
Tried To Write', which accompanies these thirty tales. Among them
are 'Casting the Runes', 'Oh, Whistle and I'll come to you, My
Lad', 'The Tractate Middoth', 'The Ash Tree' and 'Canon Alberic's
Scrapbook'. 'There are some authors one wishes one had never read
in order to have the joy of reading them for the first time. For
me, M.R. James is one of these'. Ruth Rendell
