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.'
