"Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" by M. R. James is a collection of ghost stories published in 1904. This landmark volume contains eight tales of supernatural terror, including the famous "'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad'" and "Count Magnus." James' stories blend scholarly settings with creeping dread, establishing a distinctive style that would define literary ghost fiction. The collection features illustrations by James McBryde, created shortly before his untimely
death. These atmospheric tales have been widely adapted for television and continue to influence the ghost story tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
