Count Magnus by M.R. James | Ghost Stories of an Antiquary | Short story audiobook 👻
In the dark corners of Sweden, where echoes of the past still resonate among the old walls, a traveler comes across the story of Count Magnus. This mysterious and sinister aristocrat, known for his severity and cruel punishments of his tenants, seems to be a figure taken straight from the darkest Nordic legends. In M.R. James's story, "Count Magnus," the reader is drawn into a world full of Gothic tension and unsettling discoveries.
"Count Magnus" is a tale about the thin line between curiosity and obsession, the desire to uncover what is hidden, and the price that sometimes must be paid for delving too deeply into the secrets of the past. It is a classic of horror literature that will not let you sleep... and if you do fall asleep, you can be sure it will be a nightmare-filled sleep. Discover "Count Magnus"-if you dare to enter the world of M.R. James.

..My Sister Hillary Clinton 123 also Approves @hillaryclinton1232 3 months ago I am reminded of Jacob Wrestles With The Angel for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

1984 = 2024
This is total bollocks.
It's the Democrat playbook....take notes!
Sounds just like the UK in 2024. Mr Blair just got the date wrong.
Thank you so much for this!! I’m struggling to read and understand the denser parts and didn’t want to leave it unfinished, this defo helps!

(Yikes, this reader isn't that literate... You'd think the Editor would flag things.)
M. R. James only has one good.
This was the best reading of this story, on CZcams! Great pace of the reading, wonderful voice of the reader, and soft pauses, in the right spots! 🙏🙏💕
Nope. Give me Hugh Fraser or David Suchet any day.
2024 brought me here.
Loving these M.R.James ghost stories. X hope your doing lots of them ❤

Best Lovecraft reading I’ve heard. The subtle feeling is superb!
Dude im 5 chapters deep and like… yeah. Its a well thought out world, but theres not really a story here. All im hearing is the abysmal day-to-day life experiences of Winston. Thats not a story, anymore than following a microsoft programmers day to day life is. Im confused, is it supposed to get better? Its certainly grim listening to how things in this world operate, and certainly theres a sense of pleasure listening to how terrifyingly authoritarian it is, in the same way almost like how watching a horror movie and anticipating a jump scare is. If it does get better, its a slow start for sure. Id love to see this turned into a movie.
There are two movie adaptations, my dude! Enjoy! 😁
Have you read any of Orwells other stuff? The world/setting/environment is the story. It's important details like the nonchalant reaction of Winston about a severed hand, the grimy nature of walls, and the monotonous work life that tells the true intent of the story. Don't think of it as a narrative. it's more like a snapshot of a predicament, a singular realization rather than on an ongoing series of events leading to a conclusion... This IS the conclusion. All of the colors and figures that hide in the shadows and blindspots of a still scene.
Hey, guys, I am from Russia and when I read this novel I realized what's happening now in Russia is wery similar to what is described in this novel. Enjoy your freedom, take care.
Robot has a little way to go, but I'll listen to Montague R. just about anytime. Ash Tree's one of the very best stories ever written!
I love the works of M R James
Great work
Thanks
Thank you very much 🥰
George Orwell - cheap skate - "you owe Me FIVE farthings", NOT three!
The world is becoming a combination of 1984 and Idiocracy. Very frightening, people just tell me I have a weird perspective of the world but I see it more everyday 😢
How can I put together the disappointment that I hear with my ears but feel as well, I do not like the abridged version that you are giving to the listener as well as cutting a beautiful book to adhere to your pleasure. This is culture and you have cut it and you have built, something that pleases you, so thank you for disturbing and disrupting a very cultural and iconic book and leaving it in Tatter and building it up to please people who are very sensitive and cannot take the truth in conclusion if you cannot take the truth and understand that things happenin that error of time then you are not only weak, but you are ignorant thank you for listening.
But this is precisely the unabridged version of the book, so I completely don't understand the accusations. Where exactly did we abridge the original? 🧐
@@gatesofimagination It was perfect! Don’t listen to the factless complainers..😉
We are made aware of unknown creatures some as large as whales. Creatures that have a civilization and connexions to the dry land above. Even now over 100 years later the majority have not been explored. Though humans have fished so much that said beings may find the need to gather food closer to the surface than the safe depths below. Their numbers are great and their claws are sharp. We are safe here on the dry land away from the slimy seas of our birth many millions of years ago. But inhuman eyes watch us and know too much of us than they should.
After hearing the excellent reading of this, Poirot TV series ‘the kidnapped prime minister’ is an almost complete fabrication of original AC story which is pretty disappointing. It’s an episode which doesn’t make sense in so many parts eg for one - 2-3 people only in the plot and kidnapping of a PM!
Brilliantly clear and well paced narration of a book so intensely 'down' that I couldn't face reading it on the page. I am getting hooked. Beautifully read by Arthur Lane, Thank you.
Everytime I listen to an audiobook I fall asleep before the 1st chapter is over and when I wake up the book is already finished.
😂😂😂
Thanks for your work

Loving these M.R.James ghost stories. Thank you ❤
Was this only part of the book?
This is a closed, self-contained story. The recording constitutes its entirety.
Thanks, really nice, just one point of French pronunciation though, "ça" in French must be pronounced "sa".
Please Mr. Lane, read more books and stories to us please ❤
love this book!
Too many commercials. Done with this.
Amazing voice, keep up the great work man!
