Count Magnus
'Oh Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'
Mr Humphreys and His InheritanceRuth Rendell. Here's a boring story; she savaged me when I approached her to do something about her Pan Horror story. Absolutely owned me. On a lighter note - she seems to know her onions from her shallots and in her introduction gives a rather bland but perfunctory insight into James. She choses six stories from his Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. Stand out tale is still Count Magnus. Every time I read it, always get a little bit more out of it. The literary equivalent of wringing out a damp cloth!
