From the mind of M. R. James, the writer who redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and founded the 'antiquarian ghost story' genre, comes this essential collection: The Ghost Stories of M. R. James. These ten tales of ghastliness showcase the full, chilling scope of his genius for academic terror and creeping dread.
Follow a world where polite society, old architecture, and scholarly research conceal ancient, malevolent forces:
-
Foundational Classics: Experience the renowned terror of Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad, where a skeptical professor summons a chilling, sheet-wrapped entity from a desolate coast.
-
Retribution Revenge: Witness the deadly curse of Casting the Runes, the violent awakening of a burial plot in Lost Hearts, and the spectral trial for murder in Martin's Close.
-
Ancient Evil: Confront the frightening, infernal attendant of a wicked nobleman's tomb in Count Magnus and the terrifying guardian of lost wealth in The Treasure of Abbot Thomas.
-
Architectural Malice: Discover the secrets sealed in a cathedral wall in An Episode of Cathedral History and the sinister, subtle horror enacted in the miniature scenes of The Haunted Dolls' House.
This volume is a must-have cornerstone for all lovers of classic ghost stories and masterful supernatural fiction, proving that James remains the ultimate voice of refined, unrelenting fear.
