THE GHOST STORIES OF M.R. JAMES EDITED BY ROGER LUCKHURST
The Ghost Stories of M.R. JamesĀ collects the tales that best illustrate the author's quiet mastery of the ghost story form. Running through each of these stories is a slowly escalating sense of unease and dread, which ultimately shifts into the wildly uncanny. Jamesā characters exist in a world of ancient objects whose atrocious histories begin to repeat when they are disturbed, and the blinkered repression common to Jamesā narratives only amplifies the shock of the spectral appearance.
