The Mezzotint by M R James #audiobook #classic horror
This is a classic ghost story. M R James has a unique knack of putting weird items in his stories to create horrifying images that are almost surreal. And he does this against a background of Middle Class Edwardian England, set often in a university or School environment: places he knew well from his roles at Eton and Cambridge. The images in The Mezzotint are weird and disturbing. I hope you enjoy!
James is the master of creating subtle, intelligent horror. James's typical stories involve people just like him—academics and antiquarians and clergymen— basically and people at home with dusty books and old churches in remote corners of rural England with backward, backwoods people who don't like change or strangers meddling with things that don't concern them.
Of the generations of English ghost story writers, in my estimation we have J S Le Fanu, then M R James, then Robert Aickman and then Ramsey Campbell. There are other stars I haven't mentioned and Clive Barker must fit in there somewhere.
