A Thin Ghost and Others is M. R. James’s third collection of ghost tales. It comprises five eerie stories— “The Residence at Whitminster,” “The Diary of Mr. Poynter,” “An Episode of Cathedral History,” “The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance,” and “Two Doctors.” James, a scholar and antiquarian, uses everyday settings—cathedrals, diaries, legal ledgers—to unsettle readers when mundane objects reveal unsettling supernatural forces. The volume marks his “puzzle‑story phase,” inviting interpretation rather than offering clear resolutions. It cemented his reputation as a master of subtle, scholarly horror and remains a touchstone in early 20th‑century ghost fiction.

 M. R. James

Montague Rhodes James was a medievalist scholar and Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit; instead, the stories rely on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasize the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions.
