The only annotated edition of M. R. James's writings currently available

Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories contains the entire first two volumes of James's ghost stories, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary and More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. These volumes are both the culmination of the nineteenth-century ghost story tradition and the inspiration for much of the best twentieth-century work in this genre. Included in this collection are such landmark tales as "Count Magnus," set in the wilds of Sweden; "Number 13," a distinctive tale about a haunted hotel room; "Casting the Runes," a richly complex tale of sorcery that served as the basis for the classic horror film Curse of the Demon; and "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad," one of the most frightening tales in literature. The appendix includes several rare texts, including "A Night in King's College Chapel," James's first known ghost story.

Best washcloths for acne prone skin
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using these wash cloths for many years. I am someone who suffers from occasional body acne and I feel like these do a good job of removing dead skin and oils from off my body to reduce future skin breakouts.

Found this at cvs and fell in love. Its soft enough but firm and best thing about this is it stretches so the back where u cant reach, this is it. Bath time is more fun

Exfoliates nicely and lathers up well
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
Exfoliates nicely without being too abrasive, also lathers up very well. It dries super quick after use and holds up well.

Highly recommended
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I was very surprised how much I love this product. It is not too abrasive but exfoliates so well leaving me nice and smooth. The length is not too long to be cumbersome but has lot of stretch to get the back and other body parts with ease. Highly recommend if you are looking for something extra to add to your routine!

The search is over for the perfect exfoliator!
Style: Bath And Body, Size: 3 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased the Multi-pack that comes with 3 exfoliating cloths; apricot, teal, and gray. Can’t speak on the difference between the 3 levels of exfoliating — HOWEVER, these cloths are: • generously stretchy (they bounce back to original form after drying & the stretch allows for back exfoliation) • made of quality material (nice & thick) • scrunchable to be able to use like regular (natural & plasticity) bath loofahs In the past, I’ve had this type of exfoliating cloth (I’ve tried different brands, some had plastic handles, some made with loofah, and so on..) but they never held up that well. These are great! I’d repeat-buy these for sure.
