About this listen

M. R. James (1862-1936) was provost of King's College, Cambridge, and Eton College. He was a highly regarded scholar and academic in his time but today is remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered among the finest in the genre. The six stories in Volume Two are: "The Ash Tree", "Martin's Close", "Lost Hearts", "The Tractate Middoth", "After Dark in the Playing Fields", and "Wailing Well".

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The audio quality. Come on AUDIBLE (not the excellent Roy Macready) gives us decent quality audio.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost Stories - Volume Two?

The Tractate Middoth when Eldred is first seen.

What about Roy Macready’s performance did you like?

His characterisation and the different voices. Roy Macready's voice reminds me of Peter Tuddenham - perfect for MR James ghost stories

Did Ghost Stories - Volume Two inspire you to do anything?

Complain to AUDIBLE about the audio quality yet again.

Any additional comments?

Why is the audio ENHANCED AUDIBLE audio quality so poor? 64kbps and ~95MB for over 3 hours of audio is terrible.

Excellent MRJ readings - poor AUDIBLE quality

A superb narration of MRJ 's stories. Well worth a listen to even a casual fan of the masters.

Excellent reading
