This is a selection of the famous classic ghost stories of M. R. James (August 1, 1862 – June 12, 1936), written in the traditional style of the early 20th century.

James once said:
"Two ingredients most valuable in the concocting of a ghost story are, to me, the atmosphere and the nicely managed crescendo.… Let us, then, be introduced to the actors in a placid way; let us see them going about their ordinary business, undisturbed by forebodings, pleased with their surroundings; and into this calm environment let the ominous thing put out its head, unobtrusively at first, and then more insistently, until it holds the stage."
