Two Doctors - 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.
M R James’s ghost stories often involve the rediscovery of haunted objects.
In these two lesser-known tales of terror such objects are to be found enclosed within the covers of books. Inside “The Diary of Mr Poyner” lurk ghastly, hairy memories. While in “Two Doctors” a lawyer’s papers, stuffed into an old ledger, tell of ‘The strangest case I ever met…’.
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.
