About this audiobook
Whatever its gravitas as a seat of learning it should come as no surprise that Cambridge has a malevolent and dark side. Within the ranks of its Academics and Alumni lurk the strange minds who have created despicable stories with heinous characters.
M R James, E F Benson, Christopher Blayre and E G Swain are but a few of these transgressors who have lurked within its glittering yet tortured walls.

M. R. James
Montague Rhodes James was born in 1862 at Goodnestone Parsonage, Kent, where his father was a curate, but the family moved soon afterwards to Great Livermere in Suffolk. James attended Eton College and later King's College Cambridge where he won many awards and scholarships. From 1894 to 1908 he was Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge and from 1905 to 1918 was Provost of King's College. In 1913, he became Vice-Chancellor of the University for two years. In 1918 he was installed as Provost of Eton. A distinguished medievalist and scholar of international status, James published many works on biblical and historical antiquarian subjects. He was awarded the Order of Merit in 1930. His ghost story writing began almost as a divertissement from his academic work and as a form of entertainment for his colleagues. His first collection, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary was published in 1904. He never married and died in 1936.
