{"product_id":"9781849024549","title":"Collected Ghost Stories - A Collection Of 22 M R James Stories","description":"Collected Ghost Stories by M R James is a collection of twenty-two ghost stories, plus a fascinating essay on the writing of ghost stories. Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) was a medieval scholar and Provost of King's College, Cambridge. His stories are classics of their genre, understated, beautifully paced and almost never explicit. Their idyllic rural backgrounds and amiable hero make the chilling terror of otherworldly intrusions all the more horrific. The collection is comprised of the following twenty-two stories:\u003cp\u003eThe Uncommon Prayer-Book; \u003cbr\u003eA Neighbour's Landmark; \u003cbr\u003eRats; \u003cbr\u003eThe Experiment; \u003cbr\u003eThe Malice Of Inanimate Objects; \u003cbr\u003eA Vignette; \u003cbr\u003eCanon Alberic's Scrap-Book; \u003cbr\u003eThe Stalls Of Barchester Cathedral; \u003cbr\u003eAn Episode Of Cathedral History; \u003cbr\u003eThe Story Of A Disappearance And An Appearance; \u003cbr\u003eThe Haunted Dolls' House; \u003cbr\u003eLost Hearts; \u003cbr\u003eMr. Humphreys And His Inheritance; \u003cbr\u003eMartin's Close; \u003cbr\u003eThe Diary Of Mr. Poynter; \u003cbr\u003eThe Rose-Garden; \u003cbr\u003eCasting The Runes; \u003cbr\u003eA School Story; \u003cbr\u003eThe Tractate Middoth; \u003cbr\u003eTwo Doctors; \u003cbr\u003eA View From A Hill; \u003cbr\u003eThe Residence At Whitminster; \u003cbr\u003eAppendix: M.
