A fabulous collection of classic ghost stories from master horror writer M. R. James, who practically defined the English ghost story of the early 20th century. Many of his works formed the basis of the 'antiquarian' supernatural story, in which quiet institutional settings like libraries and churches become haunted by otherworldly forces. This highly collectable edition is illustrated by Francis Mosley.
