An Evening's Entertainment is a tale that lives up to its deceptively quaint title, offering not comfort, but a slow, tightening dread. In the hands of master ghost-storyteller M. R. James, a quiet rural setting becomes the stage for something far more sinister—where folklore whispers, tradition conceals, and the past refuses to stay buried.
Dripping with unease and the chill of things half-seen, this is a story to be heard in silence, with the lights low and the wind outside. It is not simply entertainment—it is an invocation.
M.R. James (1862-1936) was een Brits auteur, onderwijzer van middeleeuwse geschiedenis en rector van King's College in Cambridge en Eton College nabij Windsor. Hij is vooral bekend van zijn spookverhalen, die door velen worden gerekend tot de beste in hun soort.
