Well above average collection of M.R. James inspired ghost stories by British writer Walter. The ghosts are always malevolent and the guilty and innocent suffer equally. These ghosts are going to exact their bloody retribution on whoever happens to be around. Innocent curiosity usually is the culprit that leads our protagonists into their unfortunate encounters. Walter typically keeps the end well hidden until she's ready for you to know it, and these are delightfully surprising.

Most highly recommended. ( )
