Overview

Delve into the supernatural realm with M.R. James's "A Thin Ghost and Others," a collection of five chilling ghost stories. Known as one of the fathers of the modern ghost story, M.R. James perfected the art of creating an eerie, palpable atmosphere that provides the perfect setting for stories of specters and the uncanny.In this collection, first published in 1919, James weaves narratives filled with antiquarian scholars, haunted artifacts, and chilling apparitions, that have served as the blueprint for subsequent generations of horror and supernatural literature. These tales are marked by their subtlety and implication, generating dread not by the overt presence of ghosts, but rather by what remains unseen and unexplained.From "The Residence at Whitminster" to "The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance," every story in this collection exhibits James's remarkable talent for detail and his ability to bring the uncanny disturbingly close to the world of the everyday. This is a must-read for any fan of classic ghost stories or supernatural fiction.Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936), known as M. R. James, was an English author, scholar, and provost, best remembered for his ghost stories, which are often considered among the finest in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the 20th century by abandoning many of the formal gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings.
