That Dieth Not, The Red Lodge, The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster, a garland of finely-wrought ghost stories from a master of the English weird tale.

H. R. Wakefield's 1928 collection is a landmark of the classic English ghost story. Chilling, elegant, superbly crafted. Read it for one of the great ghost-story collections in the M. R. James tradition, subtle, atmospheric, and genuinely frightening tales from a master of the form, including the much-anthologized 'The Red Lodge,' a treasury of quiet supernatural dread.
