When
Sleep No More" was published as an e-book by Ash Tree Press in 2012, Susan Hill, writing in The Lady, said:
"Tom Rolt's centenary in 2010 sees the re-issue of a tranche of his many books, revealing his passions, obsessions and intricate knowledge of whatever subject he was turning his hand to at the time.
There was nothing flowery about Tom Rolt, though he indulged a different side of himself by writing some cracking short ghost stories, as in Sleep no more: Railway Canal and Other Stories of the Supernatural".
Rolt himself, writing in
Landscape With Figures, describes the publisher's reception of the manuscript for
Sleep No More:
"Michael Sadleir’s reception of this modest collection of stories was so extravagant that it quite went to my head. He hailed me as the successor to M R James whose Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary I first read at the age of eight and at five yearly intervals ever since.
