Description:
Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad is among M. R. James’s most chilling and influential ghost stories — a masterpiece of creeping dread where the rational mind meets forces far beyond its understanding.
Professor Parkins, a staunch skeptic, takes a seaside holiday expecting rest and quiet. Instead, he unearths a mysterious bronze whistle at the remains of an ancient Templar site — an artifact inscribed with warnings that curiosity ignores at its peril. One careless blow of the whistle calls forth a presence woven from nightmares: a silent, predatory shape that haunts the spare bed and hunts the unbeliever who summoned it.
James conjures terror not through spectacle but through atmosphere — empty beaches, salt-stung winds, and a room where bedclothes stir with malevolent intent. This is horror born of scholarship, superstition, and the unseen prowling just beyond the candle’s reach.
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance restores the full tension and terror of one of the greatest ghost stories ever written. While the text is fully in the public domain, this narration and production are copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne.
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting the legends of classic horror, Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad reminds us that some relics were buried for a reason — and some calls should never be answered. 🕯️
