  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  London, 1873. Madeleine Brewster's marriage to Dr Lucius Everley was meant to be the solution to her family's sullied reputation. After all, Lucius is a well-respected collector of natural curiosities. His 'Small Museum' of bones and specimens in jars is his pride and joy, although firmly kept under lock and key. His sister Grace's philanthropic work with fallen women is also highly laudable. 
   
  However, Maddie soon finds herself unwelcome in what is meant to be her new home. The more she learns about both Lucius and Grace, the more she suspects that unimaginable horrors lie behind their polished reputations. 
   
  Framed for a crime that would take her to the gallows and leave the Everleys free to continue their dark schemes, Maddie's only hope is her friend Caroline. She will do anything to prove Maddie's innocence before the trial reaches its fatal conclusion.

  'Who is this who is coming?'
  Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad is one of M.R. James's most celebrated ghost stories, praised for its subtle horror, atmospheric tension and exploration of the clash between rationalism and the supernatural.
  
  A young college professor is exploring the ruins of a Knights Templar site on the East Anglian coast when he discovers an ancient bronze whistle that carries a mysterious Latin inscription. After blowing it, he begins to experience eerie phenomena - strange visions, unsettling dreams, and the sense that he is being followed by a spectral presence. The haunting intensifies, culminating in a terrifying encounter with a supernatural force which preys on fear – and causes him to question his previously confirmed beliefs about the paranormal.
  Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad helped reshape the ghost story by showing that the most chilling horrors are often the ones we can't fully see or understand.
  Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936) was a distinguished English medievalist scholar and academic, serving as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and later Eton College. His ghost stories, widely regarded as the finest in the English language, have been widely influential on modern horror and many - including Oh, Whistle and I'll Come For You, My Lad,The Tractate Middoth, A View from a Hill and Casting the Runes (aka Night of the Demon) - have been adapted for the screen.
