Summary

The hectic seaside town of Brompton-On-Sea sizzles in the summer heatwave. Holiday makers and locals alike find distraction and amusement on the pier, where the Cranville family have owned and run the fun fair for generations.
 
The rides on offer rival any of those offered by the biggest theme parks in the country, but at a far more reasonable cost. Pete Cranville, the senior member of the clan, assures that all his attractions offer their guests true value for money.
 
The Ghost Train is a particular favourite with visitors. Located on the very edge of the pier, it might seem a little out of the way, but it is still one of the fair’s most popular rides.
 
And for those who make it out alive, it truly is a marvellous experience.
Available since: 11/04/2022.
Print length: 386 pages.

    Some antiquities carry shadows that can never be wiped away. 
In this chilling masterpiece of atmospheric dread, ordinary scholars, curious collectors, and unsuspecting travelers find themselves crossing the invisible threshold between the mundane world and unspeakable terror. From a cursed scrap-book tucked away in a decaying French town to an ever-changing mezzotint painting that depicts an active, crawling horror, these tales prove that curiosity often leads to the grave. Unearth the sinister secrets of an ancient ash tree filled with giant, venomous spiders, and follow a naive orphan into a stately manor harboring dark, sacrificial rites. The past is not dead—it is merely waiting to be discovered. 
Listeners seeking elite Horror / Ghost Stories will be utterly captivated by this classic audiobook. M. R. James practically invented the antiquarian ghost story, blending academic settings with terrifying, supernatural macabre. If you love slow-burn suspense, gothic atmospheres, creeping dread, haunted objects, and phantom curses, this quintessential collection will leave you sleeping with the lights on.

He is widely regarded as the master of the modern ghost story, redefining the genre by abandoning gothic clichés in favor of contemporary, realistic settings invaded by terrifying supernatural forces.
