Description

Ghosts of the Chit-Chat celebrates the 601st meeting of Cambridge University's Chit-Chat Club in 1893, when its host, M. R. James, shared his ghost stories with fellow members. This collection revives the supernatural tradition and features earlier versions of two of James's best-known tales, alongside essays, stories, and poems by Robert Lloyd Parry. Parry's profiles and commentaries shed new light on the Chit-Chat Club's history and culture, making Ghosts of the Chit-Chat a valuable resource for both casual readers and those familiar with James's work. The book includes previously unpublished material, offering insights into the genre and its key figures. With its unique blend of historical context and literary analysis, Ghosts of the Chit-Chat provides a fascinating look at the development of supernatural literature.
