Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a good ghost story.
Back in 2000, the BBC broadcast a series of M R James stories, dramatized with Christopher Lee in the role of the great story-teller.
This was one of my favourites...
The Ash Tree
I read a book of "Collected Ghost Stories" by M R James once.
Probably not the best idea for someone with an imagination as vivid as mine . Very well written, just very spooky!
I have that book, too. He was one of the masters. Ghost stories and horror stories were one of my big obsessions as a child and teenager. I always favoured short stories, too.
Here's a link to one of my all-time favourite ghost/horror stories. A bit seasonal, too, with all the snow...
The Seventh Man, by Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch
