Synopsis
M. R. James was born in Kent, England in 1862. James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories – Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) – until the age of 42. Modern scholars now see James as having redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and he is seen as the founder of the 'antiquarian ghost story'. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions with a brand new introductory biography of the author.

About the Author
M R James was a brilliant linguist, palaegrapher, medievalist and biblical scholar, but the underlying supernatural horror in his stories has made them lastingly popular.
