Description:These tales are in the tradition of M. R. James and his contemporaries, updated to present-day style and settings. Ghosts, holidays that end with a shock, the dangers of meddling with Nature's elemental spirits, treasures with unsuspected baggage and dark magic are here in English towns and villages, rivers and woodlands, private houses and country mansions. There is something nasty in an African village; an institution in an unspecified English-speaking country has a terrible secret. The protagonists are ordinary people, some with something to hide, some mere innocent bystanders and others who unwiselly put themselves in harm's way. This is a collection for those who prefer their horror understated, their monsters glimpsed and their imagination left to carry on filling in the rest after the story has ended. And the very short "Toddy" is a special treat for naughty children, to be read aloud to them just before turning the light out.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
