Informazioni su questo ebook
Considered by many to be the most terrifying writer in English, M. R. James was an eminent scholar who spent his entire adult life in the academic surroundings of Eton and Cambridge. His classic supernatural tales draw on the terrors of the everyday, in which documents and objects unleash terrible forces, often in closed rooms and night-time settings where imagination runs riot. Lonely country houses, remote inns, ancient churches or the manuscript collections of great libraries provide settings for unbearable menace, from creatures seeking retribution and harm. These stories have lost none of their power to unsettle and disturb.
Informazioni sull'autore
M. R. James (1862-1936)
Montague Rhodes James was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905-18), and of Eton College (1918-36). James was born in Goodnestone Parsonage, near Dover in Kent, England. Though James's work as a medievalist is still highly regarded, 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 clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1930. He died in 1936 and was buried in Eton town cemetery.
