“poorly”? I would say “poorly written” might be a more apt description. BTW talking of disappointments, was anybody here actually scared shit-less by the “Ghost Stories from Ambridge”? I sampled “Lost Hearts” yesterday, and was rather unmoved by the story, and even less so by the interpretation. I well remember being very impressed by “The Treasure of Abbot Thomas” and “The Mezzotint” and “The Tractate Middoth” back in the 1960s when, as a 12 year old, I first read M. R. James.
