First published in 1904, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is far more than a collection of ghost tales: it is a masterpiece of subtle and scholarly horror. M. R. James, a distinguished academic and medievalist, transforms his deep knowledge of the past into living material for terror. In these pages, the supernatural does not scream-it whispers. And when it does, it chills the blood.

Mocked spirits, cursed objects, faceless figures lurking in the shadows... Each story unveils a meticulously crafted atmosphere, where the ordinary slowly twists into the uncanny with unmatched elegance.
