«The Haunted Dolls' House and Other Stories» is M. R. James's collection of ghost stories, published by Penguin Classics in hardcover.
M. R. James turns the everyday into the chilling: a dolls' house reproduces a macabre drama, a whistle awakens a malevolent force, a curse passes from person to person, and a crime seeks vengeance from the grave. Horror creeps into familiar settings, where the simplest objects take on a sinister meaning.
Second volume in the series The Complete Ghost Stories of M. R. James, with an introduction by Penelope Fitzgerald, 240 pages, text in English.
Recommended for those who appreciate classic horror story anthologies and the supernatural atmospheres of English fiction.
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.
