If there is anything about which the present generation is bewilderingly well-informed it is the subject of spooks. - Seraphita
Friends and Spectres is a companion volume to Ghosts of the Chit-Chat (2020), an anthology of ghost stories by authors who had been members of the Cambridge University Chit-Chat Club along with M. R. James. Here the associations with MRJ are less formal, but stronger and more enduring: for it is the bond of genuine friendship that ties these writers to him.
The majority of pieces here were originally published under pseudonyms, and over half appeared first in amateur magazines or local newspapers. All deal with the supernatural, and several of the stories are themselves spectres-or more properly revenants, only now re-emerging into the light after decades of oblivion. There are rediscoveries here of lost tales by Arthur Reed Ropes, E. G. Swain, and the enigmatic B.
