A Thin Ghost and Others by M. R. James
"A Thin Ghost and Others" by M. R. James is a horror short story collection published in 1919. This third collection from the British master of supernatural fiction features five tales, several representing what critics call James' "puzzle-story phase"—oblique narratives demanding careful interpretation. The stories range from mysterious disappearances to sinister cathedral secrets, with one tale serving as a companion piece to an earlier work featuring a similar creature. These atmospheric ghost
stories showcase James' distinctive style of understated terror. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
