A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories
M. R. James
Read by Ben Tucker
From a master of weird fiction comes this collection of ghost stories rooted in the antiquarian pursuits. A doll's house that reveals more than its owner ever wished. Stolen prayer books that prove to be doom for those who seek to purloin them. A piercing shriek in the dead of night. A glimpse into the dark past through a pair of bewitched binoculars. An ancient crown that should have never been unearthed. A burial site cursed by those who died by wickedness. These nightmares may come to haunt your dreams if you should let them in. - Summary by Ben Tucker (3 hr 24 min)

Reviews
Shelly
A good , enjoyable assortment of scary tales, some more so than others. Thanks for another , generally excellent and atmospheric reading Ben but please be careful with the English accents . There's a tendency for lower class ones to sound Cockney and upper class as if the speaker is wearing in a new set of dentures.
