Description

M.R. James's Collected Ghost Stories is a chilling collection of supernatural tales that will unsettle and disturb. Drawing on the terrors of the everyday, James's stories feature documents and objects unleashing terrible forces in isolated settings, where imagination runs riot. From lonely country houses to ancient churches, these settings provide a backdrop for unbearable menace. The collection includes some of James's most unforgettable stories, such as 'Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad' and 'Casting the Runes'. This edition also includes an appendix of James's writings on the ghost story, providing a fascinating insight into his background and mastery of the genre. Darryl Jones's introduction and notes offer a valuable perspective on James's life and work. Oxford World's Classics has made this collection available, reflecting a commitment to scholarship and providing accurate text, expert introductions, and helpful notes for further study.
