Oh Whistle - Two Ghost Stories by MR James
M R James is acknowledged as the master of the English Ghost Story.
He first performed his supernatural tales to friends at Christmas in King’s College, Cambridge.
Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad – a tale of nocturnal horror on the Suffolk coast – is considered by many to be James’s masterpiece. It is beautifully complemented here by The Ash Tree, a story of witchcraft and vengeance down the generations.
M.R. James’s wrote many of his best tales to read aloud to friends by candlelight in Kings College, Cambridge in the early 20th century; since early in the 21st, Robert Lloyd Parry of Nunkie Theatre Company has been keeping the flame lit.
