Résumé
Please note: This audiobook has been created using AI voice.
Montague Rhodes James was a respected scholar of medieval manuscripts and early biblical history, but he is best remembered today as a writer of ghost stories. His work has been much esteemed by later writers of horror, from H. P. Lovecraft to Steven King.
The stereotypical Jamesian ghost story involves a scholar or gentleman in a European village who, through his own curiosity, greed, or simple bad luck, has a horrifying supernatural encounter.
For example, in " 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad, ' " a professor finds himself haunted by a mysterious figure after blowing a whistle found in the ruins of a Templar church, and in "Count Magnus, " a writer's interest in a mysterious and cruel figure leads to horrific consequences. Other stories have the scholar as an antagonist, like "Lost Hearts" and "Casting the Runes, " where study of supernatural rites gives way to practice.
James' stories find their horror in their atmosphere and mood, and strike a balance in their supernatural elements, being neither overly descriptive nor overly vague. This collection includes all the stories from his collections Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, More Ghost Stories, A Thin Ghost and Others, and A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories.
