Short Fiction

Short Fiction by M. R. James refers to a collection of ghost stories and supernatural tales by Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936), a British author, medieval scholar, and one of the foremost writers of ghost stories in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works are celebrated for their eerie atmosphere, meticulous craftsmanship, and the sense of creeping dread that often builds in a subtle, understated way. Known for their restraint and focus on psychological horror, James' stories often center around scholars, antiquarians, or other intellectuals encountering supernatural forces in isolated, academic, or antiquarian settings.
