Great Spooks of Mr M.R.James
Another spooky from Mr M.R.James. Has written so many, the man was a genius. Nice to see the full collection on Audible books. 30 at least.

Not one of M. R. James' best
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes - it's only 15 minutes long!
Would you be willing to try another book from Montague Rhodes James? Why or why not?
Absolutely - I've read pretty much all of his work, but this isn't one of his better ones.
What about David Collings’s performance did you like?
Collings has almost the perfect voice for James: well modulated, educated, easy on the ear. The only better narrator I've come across for James was Christoper Lee in the BBC Christmas Ghost Story series (although David Suchet is very good in the Audible recordings), but that's setting a very high benchmark!
Do you think The Experiment needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Odd question - James wrote short stories which were meant to stand alone. You could take this concept and turn it into a much longer novel or a series of stories using the same central idea but that wasn't James' intent.
Any additional comments?
If you're new to M.R. James, start with 'O Whistle and I'll Come To You' or 'A Warning to the Curious' or 'The Mezzotint'.
