Collected Ghost Stories | M. R. James | Wordsworth Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural | Book
M.R. James is probably the finest ghost-story writer England has ever produced. These tales are not only classics of their genre, but are also superb examples of beautifully-paced understatement, convincing background and chilling terror. As well as the preface, there is a fascinating tail-piece by M.R. James, āStories I Have Tried To Writeā, which accompanies these thirty tales. Among them are āCasting the Runesā, āOh, Whistle and Iāll come to you, My Ladā, āThe Tractate Middothā, āThe Ash Treeā and āCanon Albericās Scrapbookā. āThere are some authors one wishes one had never read in order to have the joy of reading them for the first time. For me, M.R. James is one of theseā.
