Vintage Minis bring you the world’s greatest writers on the experiences that make us human – from birth to death and everything in between

A high-pitched laugh echoes in an empty church. Servants discover their master dead in his bed, the only sign of disturbance an open window. The coffin of a woman hanged as a witch is found to be empty. A bed that hasn’t been slept in is crumpled and distressed come the morning. A skeletal figure creeps closer and closer to the house where an unsuspecting family lie sleeping. In these chilling tales of the supernatural, M. R. James proves he truly is the master of the ghost story.

Selected from the book Ghost Stories by M.R. James

Praise for Ghosts

The wittiest of detective writers

Daily Mail

Heyer's characterisation and dialogue are an abiding delight to me . . . I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word Go.

Dorothy L. Sayers

A writer of great wit and style . . . I've read her books to ragged shreds.

Daily Telegraph

Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended.

New York Times

We had better start ranking her alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham.

San Francisco Chronicle
