Collected ghost stories / M. R. James ; edited with an introduction and notes by Darryl Jones.
Considered by many to be the most terrifying writer in English, James's stories draw on the terrors of the everyday. Documents and objects unleash terrible forces, often in closed rooms and night-time settings where imagination runs riot.
