About Ghost Stories of an Antiquary
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is the first collection of supernatural tales by M. R. James, a scholar who redefined the ghost story for the modern age. These stories are steeped in atmosphere, scholarly antiquarianism, and subtle dread, often unfolding in libraries, churches, or dusty archives—places where ancient evils quietly wait.
