Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is a collection of supernatural tales written by Montague Rhodes James and first published in 1904.

Many of the stories are set in ancient castles, monasteries, and other eerie locations, and feature a wide variety of supernatural beings, including ghosts, demons, and other malevolent entities. James' writing style is known for its subtle and understated approach to horror, relying on suggestion and implication rather than explicit descriptions of violence or gore. The stories in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary have been widely influential in the horror genre, and continue to be read and enjoyed by fans of supernatural fiction today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About Montague Rhodes James

M. R. James (1862-1936) was an English author and a medievalist scholar. He was the provost of King's College, Cambridge from 1905 to 1918, and of Eton College from 1918 to 1936.
