«Cuentos de fantasmas» is M. R. James's collection of horror stories, published by Siruela in paperback (340 pages, in Spanish).
M. R. James, a Victorian scholar, cultivated the ghost story with his own formula: recognizable, everyday settings, malevolent ghosts, and a sober tone that avoids the occult. The tales often take place in libraries, antique shops, and rural rectories, combining unease with British humor and colloquial dialogue.
Volume 28 of the Siruela/Bolsillo collection. The English original, The Collected Ghost Stories, was published in 1931.
For readers of classic horror and ghost stories seeking atmosphere, subtlety, and unease.
Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936) as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1913–1915). James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror.
