4.0 out of 5 stars A good companion volume to "Count Magnus", 19 April 2009

By	A Reader - See all my reviews

This is the second volume of Penguin Classics' Complete Ghost Stories of M R James. All of the stories included work as good entertaining ghost stories, and the volume also includes James's essays on the ghost story format, plus his translation of twelve medieval Latin ghost stories. The best of his stories are included in the first volume, "Count Magnus and other ghost stories", so for a good introduction to James, I would recommend the "Count Magnus" volume first. But otherwise, "The Haunted Doll's House" makes a good continuation volume - none of the stories are a disappointment, but also none of them rise to the type of greatness of "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You My Lad" in the first volume. I'd recommend buying both, and reading them through late into a winter's night!
