By: M. R. JAMES (1862 - 1936)
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. The details of horror are almost never explicit,
the stories relying on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasise the
awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions.
“Ghost Stories of an Antiquary” was written as two collections, presented here as two volumes in a single work. There is a short author’s preface before the first story in each volume. (Summary by Peter Yearsley)
