Critic reviews

"David Collings reads wonderfully well." (The Observer)
All stars
Most relevant  
Creepy near the end but not one of my favourite M R James and I like a quite a lot of his works. This maybe one I need to listen to a few times then it might grow on me, like one of MRJ’s creepy vines.
