Publisher's Synopsis

Every year at Halloween we like to switch things up and publish something a little bit off our usual beaten track and hopefully introduce you to something new.


This year we've decided to publish this beautiful edition of short ghost stories by M.R. James - widely acknowledged to be one of the finest writers in the genre.


First published in 1904 we're bringing this edition to you in these beautiful eBook, Paperback & Hardback editions.


This edition comprises the 8 stories that made up his first published collection of short stories.


  • Canon Alberic's Scrap Book
  • Lost Hearts
  • The Mezzotint
  • The Ash Tree
  • Number 13
  • Count Magnus
  • 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'
  • The Treasure of Abbot Thomas


Chillingly atmospheric and quietly terrifying, M.R. James's stories explore the darkness just beyond the flicker of an open fire, and behind a creaking door.
