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.
