A Thin Ghost and Others
1919
A Thin Ghost and Others is a collection of ghost stories by British author M. R. James, published in 1919. Known for his contributions to the horror genre, James combines supernatural elements with antiquarian settings, featuring learned protagonists who confront malevolent spirits. The collection includes tales that explore eerie themes and often require interpretation, showcasing James' unique 'puzzle-story phase.' Notable stories include 'The Residence at Whitminster' and 'An Episode of Cathedral History,' the latter serving as a companion to his earlier work 'Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book.'

“I assure you, if Uncle Henry had stepped out from among the trees in a little copse which borders the path at one place, carrying his head under his arm, I should have been very little more uncomfortable than I was. To tell you the truth, I was rather expecting something of the kind.””
— M. R. James
“As for him, he was naturally somewhat dashed by the consciousness of duty unfulfilled, but more so by the prospect of a lawn-tennis party, which, though an inevitable evil in August, he had thought there was no occasion to fear in May.””
— M. R. James
