M.R. James is the scariest ghost story writer I've come across. He's not grotesque or violent like today's modern stories. He is able to instill in the reader a sense of horror. His writing is superb and his symbolism highly thought-provoking.

Anyone who likes good ghost stories rooted in antiquarian research should enjoy this book.
