Review: Good evening, I notice you are selecting your bedside book. Perhaps you were expecting to find a collection of gentle Victorian ghost stories? But this volume you have chosen is the work of the Master, Montague Rhodes James, and his - acquaintances - are altogether "more formidable visitants". Surely the greatest ghost-story writer of all time, he is a timeless weaver of atmosphere and a vanished Victorian and Edwardian world of gentlemen antiquaries, college rooms and libraries, country houses, quiet hotels, books, manuscripts and ancient artefacts. James' friendly voice makes us all honorary members of `the club', invited to hear him recount the latest of his chilling tales and, in our imaginations, join his ill-fated heroes as they encounter our worst nightmares ... listen ... There was, for example, the case of Canon Alberic, who combined a magnificent (but I fear illicit) scrapbook of priceless religious manuscripts with unfortunate experiments in dark magic and the raising of demons; most unfortunate, in that he enjoyed complete success. Or the traveller in Sweden who spoke, whimsically, three times to the long-entombed Count Magnus; poor man, such an unpleasant way to depart. And that wretched young fellow who made the archaeological discovery of several lifetimes - an Anglo-Saxon crown! It was the final discovery of his lifetime and a severe warning to the curious, that much is certain. Too unsettling for late-night reading? I think there is milder fare on offer; the story of a quiet golfing holiday on the east coast perhaps? If only the Professor had not actually blown that whistle he discovered; still, at least he survived to tell the tale, although he is understandably nervous now around scarecrows and the like. What about this one - a diligent Archdeacon, hard at work in his cathedral close, nothing untoward there surely? Oh, no, perhaps not - the newspaper reports were distressing; strange, he kept no cat, and yet something with claws must have ... This story will be safer - a report on a college purchase of an engraving, a mezzotint I believe, just a depiction of an attractive country house seen under moonlight. A figure on the lawn? Carrying - oh, dear me how horrible. Ah, now I have it, just the thing, guaranteed not to disturb your sleep. A description of an attractive old hotel here in Viborg; why yes, it IS the one in which we are staying, an interesting account but not, I think, too alarming as the gentleman evidently lived to publish his work. Yes, he was staying in room number 12, exactly like you. My room? Number 13 of course ... ... a wonderful collection of undying classics to read again and again. Do remember to put the light out - pleasant dreams.
