Complete Ghost Stories by M. R. James

A collection of atmospheric supernatural tales set among English villages, country houses and old colleges, in which antiquarians, clergymen and scholars unwittingly disturb ancient objects or secrets and are menaced by subtle, uncanny phenomena; the stories rely on restrained, erudite narration and slow-building dread, using detailed description and psychological unease to produce chilling, often understated shocks and lingering, haunting endings.
