Happy Halloween

Did anyone else see the free downloadable ghost story, "Casting the Runes" from NYRB today?

I guess I know what I'll read this evening.

Thanks! Looks like fun!

Finally read it last night and loved it. What book does it come from?

Rebeccanyc:

You can find it in various collections by M.R. James and in numerous anthologies of ghost stories.

For a James collection, I prefer the Penguin Classics editions of his stories and "Casting the Runes" is collected in Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories.

For a ghost story anthology, you can't go wrong with Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural.

Thanks, TwoDs. I'm not much of a ghost story reader, but I was quite taken by "Casting the Runes" so I may look for a James collection.
