    About this ebook

    M. R. James redefined the ghost story by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés and using more realistic contemporary settings. H.P. Lovecraft was a fan, and wrote a review on his work: "...gifted with an almost diabolic power of calling horror by gentle steps from the midst of prosaic daily life." he says, also adding: "Dr. James has, it is clear, an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers."
    In these seven chosen short stories you will enter the gloomy world of M. R. James:

    - A School Story
    - Count Magnus
    - Lost Hearts
    - 'Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You My Lad"
    - The Rose Garden
    - An Episode of Cathedral History
    - Mr. Humphreys and his Inheritance

      Jan 25, 2019

      This is a story about writing and failing and trying to feel less alone. I suppose it’s also about “finding myself” with Sandburg's same reckless ecstasy. The post Tracing Footsteps Not My Own: Going Through the Motions, Learning to Write appeared fi

      Fourteen First and Last Sentence Novels
