A Neighbour's Landmark

M. R. James, born in 1862, transformed the ghost story genre in the 20th century, establishing the 'antiquarian ghost story' with his first collection published in 1904. His late start in fiction writing did not hinder his impact, as he is now recognized as a pivotal figure in supernatural literature. This edition includes a new introductory biography, providing readers with insights into his life and contributions to the genre, presented in an accessible format.
