Collected Ghost Stories - M R James

M.R. James is the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are classics not only of their genre, but also of beautifully paced understatement, convincing background and chilling terror.

As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece Stories I Have Tried to Write to accompany these thirty tales which include Casting the Runes, ‘Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad’, The Tractate Middoth, The Ash Tree and Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook
