«Room 13 and Other Ghost Stories» is a collection of ghost stories by M. R. James, published by Heinemann Educ. in paperback (64 pages, in English).
It brings together ghost stories by M. R. James in an unsettling atmosphere, with apparitions and gloomy settings such as the misty churchyard on the cover. The title story, «Room 13», is accompanied by other tales of the supernatural; the cover, with a spectral figure among gravestones, sets that tone.
1989 edition adapted by Stephen Colbourn for the Heinemann Guided Reader series of graded readers.
Intended for elementary-level students of English who want to read classic horror with graded vocabulary.
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.
