Classic Ghost Story Collection
M. R. James
A collection of classic ghost stories to scare all the family!
"O Whistle and I’ll Come to You My Lad" tells the tale of an introverted academic who happens upon a strange whistle while exploring a Knights Templar cemetery on the East Anglian coast. When blown, the whistle unleashes a supernatural force that terrorises its discoverer.
"Lost Hearts" tells the story of Stephen Elliott, a young orphan boy, who is sent to stay with his much older cousin, Mr Abney, at a remote country mansion. His cousin is a reclusive alchemist obsessed obsessed with making himself immortal. Stephen is repeatedly troubled by visions of a young gypsy girl and a traveling Italian boy with their hearts missing.
"The Monkey’s Paw" is a haunting tale of how a man's cavalier wishes are tragically granted by an exotic but cursed talisman, wreaking havoc on what was previously a content family.
"The Ash Tree" documents the tale of Sir Richard Castringham, who has just inherited a country seat with an unfortunate history. The house has been cursed since the day his ancestor, Sir Matthew, condemned a woman to death for witchcraft. It is soon discovered that the ancient ash tree outside his bedroom window is the root of the problem.
