So, yes, I picked up that story by Brian as well. Very glad he was mentioned.

Don:

Is there a particular e-book edition of M.R. James' ghost stories which you consider to be especially well done?


You double-posted in the same post. This may be a first for MobileRead!

I'm glad you were able to meet him. It seems like he disappeared for awhile (or was undercover in one sense), but he now seems to be back, which is great news for his fans.

Let me look over what I have on James and I'll post a reply here.
