Summary

"Ghost Stories of an Antiquary Part 2: More Ghost Stories" by M. R. James is a spine-chilling anthology of ghostly encounters set in the early 1900s. The reader will find historical backdrops and age-old mysteries meet psychological unease. The book begins with "A School Story," where two old friends recount unsettling memories from their past in school. The story involves a disturbing, ghostly teacher known as Mr. Sampson, foreshadowing the eerie events through cryptic Latin phrases that deepen the sense of dread. The collection overall weaves nostalgia, youth anxieties, and the chilling unknown into a tapestry of haunting stories.

About the Author

Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936) as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1913–1915). James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror.
