Description

This carefully crafted ebook: “20 HAUNTING TALES OF MYSTERY & MACABRE: Ghost Stories of an Antiquary - Volume 1&2, A Thin Ghost, The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance, The Residence at Whitminster…” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. M. R. James (1862-1936) 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". He was was a 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.
