Title: For Hardcore Davies Fans Only
Product review: The prospect of Davies penning ghost stories delighted me, so I purchased High Spirits for my annual October spooky reading. These stories are fun, but there's no getting around the fact that I was hugely disappointed. They are comic, not scary or even groteque. They were written to entertain his colleagues and students, and they are kind of dull for the general public...especially as the premise is basically the set-up for all 18 stories. Nevertheless, even without enjoying the tales themselves, Davies never fails to be an engaging writer, and his first person narration is often clever and amusing in his own unique style. Worth the read, but for Davies fan's only.
