Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary (1905)

Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is a collection of supernatural tales written by Montague Rhodes James, a noted medieval scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge. First published in 1904, the book includes a total of eight stories, all of which are framed as accounts told by various narrators. The stories range in setting from ancient ruins and country houses to churches and libraries, and each features a different ghostly entity or supernatural occurrence. James' writing style is characterized by its attention to detail and historical accuracy, which lends a sense of realism to even the most fantastical elements of the stories. Despite being over a century old, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary remains a beloved classic of horror literature and continues to inspire modern writers in the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
