WORKS BY DR. M. R. JAMES
“I wish to place myself on record as uureservedly recommending ‘More Ghost Stories.’ It is Dr. James’s method that makes his tales so fascinating. As he puts it in his preface, a ghost story ought to be told in such a way that the reader shall say to himself, ‘If I am not very careful something of this kind may happen to me.}’”—Punch.
“He fascinates; he ensnares us in the delights of the gruesome; we cannot lay down the book until we have finished it, and we dismiss it in an agreeable ecstasy of terror.”—Daily News.
“Dr. James has a fine gift for making his minor characters real, living, crotchety, human beings, and so compels us to believe in his ghostly adventures and to be horribly afraid of them.”—Mr. E. B. Osborne in The Morning Post.
“Not only are the studies written with a distinction of style to which the reader of similar works is totally unaccustomed, but the Provost of Eton has managed to impart a most authentic feeling of alarming eeriness to the apparitions which he so vividly describes.”—Spectator.
