  It was supposed to be the party of the century: miles of idyllic white sand beaches, lush jungle foliage...and a dark legend nobody dreamed might be all too true. 
  When an online influencer and several hundred of his most loyal fans land on Prosperity Island, the plan is simple: five days of elaborate games, drinking, and suntanned fun. 
  A week in paradise should have been a welcome respite. The only survivor of an infamous cult, Ruth wants nothing more than to keep her head down and not draw attention. She's spent decades outrunning her blood-soaked childhood, and her identity is a closely held secret. 
  But then the true history of the island is revealed…along with its sinister connection to Ruth's past. As guests go missing and games turn deadly, Ruth and the rest of the attendees are forced to question whether they've really been invited to paradise...or whether something much darker―and far bloodier―is waiting for them just beyond the bonfire's light.

  '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.
