About this series
The occult, with its roots in the distant past, has long been a source of fascination and fear. For thousands of years, people have sought to unlock the secrets of the universe by means of arcane rituals, mystical practices, and communion with otherworldly beings.
In this collection, we'll delve into the shadowy world of black magic, where forbidden knowledge and dark forces reign supreme, and curses and spells serve the needs and wants of both witches and wizards alike.
From papers on alchemy, to the medium's parlour, THE REALM OF THE OCCULT will offer you a glimpse into a terrifying world, hidden to all but the most scrupulous of intellects.

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.
