The Ghost Stories of M. R. James | A Bitesized Audio Anthology

Not sure if it’s my phone but I’m getting reverb/echo

Will you be reading "casting the runes" soon? I listened to Magpie Audio's version, and it was ok, but I think your narration would be superior to his.

Thank you so much for the amazing content

Classic British tales from a gifted english author and perfectly narrated by Mr Stanhope what a treat thank you so much.

Listening from the ukwales❤

Simon...i was wondering about the Victorian era of Penny Dreadfuls ? Are they to long for the Bitesized Audio to consider ?

The feminists, the blue, pink, red, dyed haired idiots of today will never know the sacrifices made foe them, so the can live off the toll

I cannot express in words my appreciation for you and the work you put forth for our enjoyment. Sublime in every sense. Superb!

I love this. Enjoy thoroughly. Thank you so much✨🇺🇸✨💙✨😊✨

I'm watching them all. Enjoy them all. My sincere thanks✨🇺🇸✨😊✨💙✨💃✨

Brilliant reading , I've stopped watching tv and am hooked on audio books now thank you.

Simons voice and delivery is superb.

I can’t get enough of all these thank you and keep up providing the most excellent stories

Thank you very much for another multiple upload. Making recovery at home much more fun!!

Absolutely wonderful, thankyou.

I am listening to this whole thing in the past at least,
5 to 7 different times.

And what I'm about to say I mean normally I don't say it like this but I mean it vigorously ;

Well,
Mr.. Simon Stanhope,,,
You are more than a quite unique storyteller.
And I really enjoyed when you began to do a video of your face as your speaking. It made it all that more real,
When you're telling a story you put so much emotion suspense or even a tad of fright to keep the listener on the edge of your seat. Now just speaking for myself that's the effect that I get when I listen to so many of your wonderful stories

You video yourself for millions of people, to enjoy,
you and your personality for everyone and rememder...

Another thing,
With some of my family :
I have niece and nephews all the way up to the age of 27 and my oldest nephew Anthony I told him about you at least 3 years ago my niece Brianna and my youngest nephew Mikey they listened to your stories frequently.

As Anthony,
Listens to many and many of your great stories.

Now when the time comes ; with my nephew's son he will do justice the same as I did with Anthony by passing it on and keeping the tradition going !

Well with that said I have 5 hrs : 20 :38 minutes to get started on once again,
Simon,
Thank You,
Again !!!

I'm so happy I finally clicked on one of your videos! You've been popping up in my recommendations, but I hesitated to give you a listen. There are some unskilled narrators and I had run into a slew of them. You, however, are quite skilled in the art of narration. Your pace is slow enough to allow the text to be relished, yet you don't drag. Your enunciation is clear without being clipped. I look forward to listening to many stories from you.

Thank you for putting a picture of the voice and everything else.

Love the piano interlude ❤ eerily tragic

Wait a minute! Didn't you make a video on "The Mezzotint?" If not, I heard it on another channel; and IF not, for goodness' sake, why have you not made one yet? Ha-ha! You must, with all haste!

No one expresses my feelings better than Ruth Rendell: "There are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of reading them for the first time. For me, M R James is one of these."

Looking for the new one. Will have to relax to this already listened and enjoyed..

Finding these wonderful old stories read so well has become a joy in my life that I look forward every evening Thank you for all your hard work

I'm sorry I can't listen to this at one go 😟

Aloha from Kapakalua, Maui....its actually a cold night (relativity, recollections may vary)....I'm bundled up & listening to these, and have hot tea.<bonus
This puts the Superbowl to shame. Nice work, and thank you!!
Note: I never watch sportsball, hate it!!! haven't had a TV in 15 yrs:)

All very queer

Thanks for sharing but how is a 5 hour 20 minute production “bite size”? 😂

Thank you

Only just started listening to these and I am very impressed. I am a massive fan of Agatha Christie and Hugh Fraser as her narrator but I must admit, I am now torn between Mr Stanhope and these wonderful stories.

An excellent reading . Crisp and clear .

I think you grasp the character of the self regarding, unworldly academic very well. I have read and enjoyed these stories many times and know all the adaptations. Your readings stand up very well

You are the Stanhope of the good ship Washington. There aren't many truly amazing people in this world, but you are one of them. The last of the summer wine of men. The good life of voices. The king of my heart.

M R James is the scariest thing ever to happen to humanity with the exception of the appearance of humanity itself. Punch and Judy shows eternally play out in my nightmares. One day you will do that one, and my life will be complete in its disintegration. Thanks again! 👍

If it wasn’t for M. R. James we wouldn’t have stories like The Conjuring, Insidious, The Ring, The Grudge, The Fog, Poltergeist, The Shining, The Amityville Horror, The Haunting of Hill House, and countless other ghost stories by multiple authors from around the world.

Thank you for posting simply wonderful to hear I remember listening to the late Michael hording reading James ghost s and I must say your reading is up there with this

You are fantastic! Sincerely, a dumb American. My grandmother was from Kent.

Wonderful, thank you x

In keeping with the old English tradition I'll be listening to these. Merry Christmas everyone

I find it not unpleasant, the frequency of double negative usage in many of these stories. It seems to add atmosphere and is so British. I love the word luncheon, too.

Thank you so much for the great entertainment sir.

love this channel!! Thank you

Loved it . Expecting a complete Lovecraft stories.

You deserve more views. Bring much joy to people

I need to hear S.S. say " Mr. Peabody ".

Simon, thank you so much for such a gift, your English narration skills are much appreciated.

Beautiful

Thank you! When I listen, I'm able to conjure up a vivid picture of the surroundings & the actions- even the expressions on the character's faces. In short, wonderful 🤗

I'm sure there are a number of logistical reasons why narrating the author biographies at the beginning of your videos need be omitted - I don't know if you ever got your monetization back, I'm guessing not, but I did really enjoy hearing that. I'm often listening and not looking at my screen and while if a story is particularly interesting I will definitely check out the info about the story and author, hearing it was very educational and I enjoyed when you included that in your verbal narration :)
