Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
Canon Alberic’s Scrapbook (Fantasy and Horror Classics) | M. R. James
3 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
M. R. James was born in Kent, England in 1862. James came to writing fiction relatively late, not publishing his first collection of short stories – Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904) – until the age of 42. Modern scholars now see James as having redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and he is seen as the founder of the 'antiquarian ghost story'. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions with a brand new introductory biography of the author.

My first MR James ghost story of this Halloween season! Is it really Halloween without him?? This was such a proper Victorian ghost story, with a haunted medieval manuscript, divine wrath and twisted up hands appearing in your study in the middle of the night. I love a good Latin inscription about damnation in a lost cathedral.

I'm a sucker for French horror stories! (Even though the author was English). #booktober #bookloversunite #horror #collector #compendium #yyjbooklovers #classics #newbooksmell #historian #historynerd
