{"product_id":"9781434446787","title":"The M.R. James Megapack: 30 Classic Horror Stories","description":"Montague Rhodes James (1862 – 1936), who wrote as M. R. James, was an English medieval scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936). He is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic cliches of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the ?antiquarian ghost story.?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume collects 30 of his classic tales, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCANON ALBERIC’S SCRAP-BOOK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLOST HEARTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE MEZZOTINT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ASH-TREE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNUMBER 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOUNT MAGNUS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“OH, WHISTLE, AND I’LL COME TO YOU, MY LAD”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFLA FUR BIS FLE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TREASURE OF ABBOT THOMAS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART 2: THE FIVE JARS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE DISCOVERY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE FIRST JAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SECOND JAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SMALL PEOPLE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDANGER TO THE JARS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE CAT, WAG, SLIM AND OTHERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE BAT-BALL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWAG AT HOME\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART 3: MORE GHOST STORIES OF AN ANTIQUARY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCASTING THE RUNES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE ROSE GARDEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE TRACTATE MIDDOTH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE STALLS OF BARCHESTER CATHEDRAL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMARTIN’S CLOSE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMR HUMPHREYS AND HIS INHERITANCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePART 4: A THIN GHOST AND OTHERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE RESIDENCE AT WHITMINSTER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE DIARY OF MR.
