The best reading of M.R. James you can get!

M. R. James is the master of creeping uneasiness, and having a audio collection of this kind with the addition of the small essay at the end, is awesome. If this audiobook were a tape I would destroy it with all the replaying I will be doing. The narrator has to be my favourite I've heard of James narrators, including Michael Hordern as wonderful as he is. Johnathan Keeble uses an everyday kind of voice which is essential in building the foreboding of a James tale, and then pulls out the drama when it's time. He also has an incredible range of accents and I laughed so hard with his owl voice, it is fantastic. 10/10 wonderful narration of a wonderful collection of one of my favourite authors. I would have bought this with money if I had ran out of credits, worth every cent.
