Count Magnus
Two Ghost Stories by M R James • Performed by R M Lloyd Parry
‘At first they hear nothing at all. Then they hear someone – you know how far away it is – they hear someone scream, just as if the most inside part of his soul was twisted out of him.’
The M R James Project travels to Scandinavia for this installment.
In Count Magnus a travel-writer’s over-inquisitiveness leads to a breathless, diabolical chase from darkest Sweden to rural Essex.
Denmark is the setting for Number 13, where a hotel room, with the famously unlucky number, conceals a ghastly and baffling secret.
‘**** Lloyd Parry is always absorbing, and catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality.’
