I'm looking for a book of classic ghost/horror stories from the likes of M.R.James, Dickens, Henry James etc. I fancy curling up with it over Christmas.

Can anyone recommend a really good collection please?

If you like MR James and Dickens, then I think you will really enjoy EF Benson. There are collections of his ghost stories, and he's often found in Victoria ghost story anthologies too

Thank you both! I'm still looking and undecided, complicates by finding bbc sounds has free recordings of many of the stories I like the sound of with great narrators, Michael Hordern reading Whistle and I'll come to you for eg.

Some good deals on Amazon Kindle for MRJames stories just now.
I recently bought a collection of his work that is over 2,000 pages long for £1.99!
(I love his ghost stories) Woooooo! Grin
