3 Horror Stories - Set in Suffolk by M R James: A trio of classic tales perfect for a commute, walk or quiet night in

Written by M. R. James

Narrated by David Shaw-Parker and Richard Mitchley

There is something about the number 3.

The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.

Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois. It seems good things usually come in threes.

Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

From their pens to your your ears.
