About the book

The Ghost Stories of M. R. James begins in a recognisable world of scholars, old buildings, churches and apparently harmless discoveries. A manuscript, an object or an unwelcome curiosity can disturb that world and expose its inhabitants to something they do not understand. James builds fear through restraint, allowing precise everyday details to make the supernatural intrusion more convincing. His antiquarian interests and mastery of suggestion give these stories a distinctive atmosphere, in which knowledge does not necessarily offer protection and looking too closely can have terrible consequences.
