Room 13 and other ghost stories

M. R. James, born in 1862, revolutionized the ghost story genre with his unique style, particularly through his 1904 collection, "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary." Recognized as the pioneer of the 'antiquarian ghost story,' his works blend scholarly elements with supernatural themes. This edition features classic tales alongside a new introductory biography, celebrating his lasting impact on 20th-century literature.
