The Residence at Whitminster

M. R. James, born in 1862, is recognized for redefining the ghost story genre in the 20th century, particularly through his influential collection, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, published when he was 42. As the pioneer of the 'antiquarian ghost story,' his works blend history with the supernatural. This edition features high-quality republishing alongside a new introductory biography, offering readers insight into James's life and contributions to literature.
