Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is the title of M. R. James' first
collection of ghost stories, published in 1904 (some had previously
appeared in magazines). Some later editions under this title
contain both the original collection and its successor, More Ghost
Stories (1911), combined in one volume. There are eight classics by
great Edwardian scholar and storyteller. ""Number Thirteen,"" ""The
Mezzotint,"" ""Canon Alberic's Scrapbook,"" more. Renowned for
their wit, erudition and suspense, these stories are each
masterfully constructed and represent a high achievement in the
ghost genre. Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was a medieval
scholar; Provost of King's College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his
ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky
Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a
quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of
supernatural forces.
