Complete Ghost Stories

The art of telling a ghost story is a refined one, and Montague Rhodes James was a master of the genre. Complete Ghost Stories is part of the Macmillan Collectors Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by author and playwright David Stuart Davies. M.R. James draws the reader into narratives which, seeming innocuous, become darker and darker in gentle turns and then confront readers with some of the most unforgettably frightening images in British literature. Complete Ghost Stories contains every timeless masterpiece from each of his four collections: Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904), More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1911), A Thin Ghost and Others (1919), and A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories (1925).
