Fiction

This is the unabridged audio recording of M.R. James' excellent ghost story 'The Uncommon Prayer-Book'. The author's stories were written with the purpose of being read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. This highly-praised version, narrated by David Collings, is sure to scare and delight in equal measure.
