“At first they hear nothing at all. Then they hear someone scream, just as if the most inside part of his soul was twisted out of him.”

Robert Lloyd Parry as M R James

In Count Magnus a travel-writer’s over-inquisitiveness leads to a 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, baffling secret.
