Five exciting dramatizations of classic ghost stories, introduced by Derek Jacobi as the voice of M. R. James. Widely acknowledged as a master of the supernatural, James penned many of his classic ghost stories to be read aloud to friends, by candlelight, in his study on Christmas Eve. These five adaptations, originally broadcast on BBC Radio, perfectly capture the mood of nerve-jangling suspense that would surely have been present during those readings. With powerfully chilling music and sound effects, these rich, riveting dramatizations make for irresistible listening.
