By M.R. James
About the book:
"In the twentieth-century literature of the supernatural, the single most important book, in the opinion of most scholars and enthusiasts, is Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, by Montague Rhodes James. First printed in 1904, it is the landmark book that established the modern horror story. It has been reprinted more times than any other book in this field, and it contains several of the best ghost stories in the English language."
About the author:
Montague Rhodes James (1862 - 1936) was a scholar and provost of King's College and Eton College, as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. James's scholarly work is still highly regarded,[1] but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which originally read stories to friends and select students at Eton and Cambridge as Christmas Eve entertainments. He was a confirmed bachelor.
