Collected Ghost Stories by M R James is a collection of twenty-two
ghost stories, plus a fascinating essay on the writing of ghost
stories. Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was a medieval scholar
and Provost of King's College, Cambridge. His stories are classics
of their genre, understated, beautifully paced and almost never
explicit. Their idyllic rural backgrounds and amiable hero make the
chilling terror of otherworldly intrusions all the more horrific.
The collection is comprised of the following twenty-two stories:
The Uncommon Prayer-Book; A Neighbour's Landmark; Rats; The
Experiment; The Malice Of Inanimate Objects; A Vignette; Canon
Alberic's Scrap-Book; The Stalls Of Barchester Cathedral; An
Episode Of Cathedral History; The Story Of A Disappearance And An
Appearance; The Haunted Dolls' House; Lost Hearts; Mr. Humphreys
And His Inheritance; Martin's Close; The Diary Of Mr. Poynter; The
Rose-Garden; Casting The Runes; A School Story; The Tractate
Middoth; Two Doctors; A View From A Hill; The Residence At
Whitminster; Appendix: M. R. James On Ghost Stories Note: This is
not to be confused with the Book "The Collected Ghost Stories of M
R James" which was published in 1931.
