The Haunted Doll's House and Other Ghost Stories (The Complete Ghost Stories of M.R. James, Vol. 2)

Stories by a visionary master of supernatural fiction
Â
In volume two of the only annotated edition of M. R. James's complete writings currently available, Penguin Classics brings together tales from James's final two works, A Thin Ghost and Others and A Warning to the Curious. In these stories, James continues his fearsome transformation of the ghost story from its nineteenth-century heritage, drawing upon his deep knowledge of medieval history and biblical curiosa. This edition features a number of little-known tales that have rarely been assembled, including â€œThe Fenstation Witch,â€ presented here for the first time in a corrected text, a new translation of â€œTwelve Medieval Ghost Stories,â€ and a number of Jamesâ€™s essays.
Â
Edited and with an introduction and notes by S. T. Joshi.
