Over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R Jamesretain their power to terrify and amuse. Robert Lloyd Parry brings two of James’ classic spine-chillers back to life.
In Canon Alberic’s Scrap-book, a young antiquary discovers the devil in the details of an old book in a medieval town in the French Pyrenees. In The Mezzotint a ghoulish revenge is enacted within a work of art, before the helpless eyes of a museum curator in Oxford.
Lloyd Parry is always absorbing, and catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality The Times
