Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories by M.R. James is a chilling collection of supernatural tales that redefined the modern ghost story. Featuring scholarly protagonists and eerie antiquarian discoveries, the stories blend subtle horror with atmospheric precision. In the title tale, a curious Englishman investigates the sinister legacy of Count Magnus in rural Sweden, unleashing a vengeful, otherworldly presence. Other tales include haunted manuscripts, cursed artifacts, and malevolent spirits drawn to the inquisitive. James’s mastery lies in understated dread, vivid settings, and the terror of the unseen. Written in a refined, academic tone, these stories creep slowly into the psyche, making them enduring classics of gothic and psychological horror.
