Criticism Containing Books Ghost Stories of an Antiquary

Avg 3.5Stuff went over my head and was a bit confusing, because it's old, but I did mostly enjoy what I got. Maybe i'll revisit this at a later date and get more out of it, who knows.

Please note that I gave this 3.5 stars but since Goodreads does not have half stars I rounded up to 4 stars. These are not your typical horror stories. I did like them though. James has a subtle style to his writing and stories. I think that he assumes his readers are going to imagine more things that can be worse than what he will write so a lot of things are left to your imagination in some of the stories.The stories are the following: "Canon Alberic's Scrap-Book"-3 stars. Not very scary. And

I was quite honestly surprised by just how much I enjoyed these stories. I am not, generally speaking, a fan of much horror and I felt that these stories may fall into that space. But, a friend recommended, and so I tried. What I loved about these was the suspense and how clear the characters were painted. It wasn't gory and it wasn't really scary. It was just good fiction. These would probably be best read aloud. My favorite of the tales was "Number Thirteen". Three stars solely because it

I'd read some of these before and most are excellent. James has an imagination that can draw you in...and then take advantage of your vulnerabilities to things that may or may not go bump in the night. You will as always find reliably creepy stories from James. I can recommend this tome (or is it tomb...mwa-wah-ha-ha if you're looking for ghost/supernatural stories.

I've read all these before, but you know what? They're awesome. M.R. deserves to still be read after more than 100 years. And yes, it's very patriarchal and upper-middle-white-English-gentlemen. And I know, there's almost no women characters in his stories, other than the occasional inn-keeper's wife, or the house maid who always refers to the protagonist as "Sir", buuuuttt....Wait 'til dark, turn off the t.v., light a few candles, open the book, and I challenge you not to look over your

CANON ALBERICS SCRAP-BOOK They were in the sitting-room of the house, a small, high chamber with a stone floor, full of moving shadows cast by a wood-fire that flickered on a great heart. (p.13)Canon Alberics Scrap-Book was first published in 1904, although it was written in 1894.The story is set in southern France. An English tourist is photographing the interior of the cathedral of Saint-Bernard-de-Comminges at the foot of Pyrenees, when the cathedrals sacristan tries to sell him a strange

Every so often it's good to dip into a classic. Alas, this was the sort of classic that reminded me why it's precisely every so often and not more frequently than that. Widely beloved, widely lauded these are suppose to be among the finest tales of supernatural fiction and yet they didn't do it for me at all. I tried and tried, took several sittings. The book's page count is misleading, it's entered as 94 on GR and 122 on Amazon and yet by my account considering the time spent reading it and the
