'The evil spirit, who enthralled my senses in the shape of that portrait, may have been just as near me, just as energetic, just as malignant, though I saw him not.'

This handsome hardback anthology brings together 60 of the greatest ghost stories ever written, featuring silent spectres, petrifying phantoms and all manner of ghastly ghosts. Whether the apparitions are discovered by intrepid adventurers, solemn priests or mild-mannered academics, the haunted must reconsider their most basic assumptions and work out how best to respond to these supernatural assaults.

Tales include:
• A Ghost by Guy de Maupassant
• The Red Room by H. G. Wells
• The Signalman by Charles Dickens
• The Room in the Tower by E.F. Benson
• The Whistling Room by William Hope Hodgson
• The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral by M.R. James

M. R. James (1862 to1936) was an English author and a medievalist scholar. He was the provost of King's College, Cambridge from 1905 to 1918, and of Eton College from 1918 to 1936. He was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1913-15. Though James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which redefined the genre for the 20th century.
