Read 2 times. Last read September 9, 2018 to September 20, 2018.
GHOST STORIES OF AN ANTIQUARY, contains some of the earlier tales of author M.R. James. This particular selection is available for free download on public domain.
I'll admit, I'm a bit biased when it comes to M.R. James' tales--I own his complete works, and have re-read it several times. While this collection doesn't include all of his better known stories, it does give the reader a good sampling of that eerie, creeping horror--usually without all the gore--that James is better known for. These are the kind of stories that affect you more, in my humble opinion, and often the ones that you don't forget over time.
A great start to some of M.R. James' work.
Highly recommended!
