Beschreibung
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.

Über den Autor
Montague Rhodes James (1862 - 1936), who published under the name M. R. James, was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905-18) and of Eton College (1918-36). Though James's work as a medievalist is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story".
