Ghost Stories of an Antiquary Illustrated eBook M R James Reviews
I can read these stories again and again-they don't write ghost stories of this caliber any more-if they do, let me know!
Collection of eight suspenseful ghost stories from a master that predates HP Lovecraft. Creepy fun with a dry British sense of wit that will have you wanting to pull up the covers and read a single tale just before you drop off to sleep so as to give you chills all week long. Very good book!
I enjoyed reading the old style writing. The stories were all new to me as well. Glad to have a dictionary.
Every so often it's good to dip into a classic. Alas, this was the sort of classic that reminded me why it's precisely every so often and not more frequently than that. Widely beloved, widely lauded these are suppose to be among the finest tales of supernatural fiction and yet they didn't do it for me at all. I tried and tried, took several sittings. The book's page count is misleading, it's entered as 94 on GR and 122 on and yet by my account considering the time spent reading it and the fact that it comprises parts 1 & 2 of James' stories, also published as separate volumes, this should clock out at well over 200 pages. And feels much slower than that. And the thing is objectively I can tell these are suppose to be good stories, quality writing, atmospheric, imaginative...and yet at no point did I find myself engaged or even particularly interested. In fact I think the main reason I finished these is due to my completist nature and general need to try to understand why I wasn't enjoying these stories the way everyone seems to. Were they dated? Sure, but that wasn't the main detraction. I expected them to be dated. Maybe it was the somnolent pacing. Or the fact that these stories were so utterly unexciting. Either way this really didn't work for me, neither entertained as a book should nor spooked as a genre book ought to. It occurred to me that these tales might be more fun if read aloud, maybe this should have been a listen and not a read. In book form...disappointing. But try I did.
This is the collection that defined what a ghost story ought to be. Accept no substitutes.
I enjoyed this book. I liked the old English style of writing. Great collection of stories for anyone to enjoy.
These short stories are unrelated in plot or character but are all excellent examples of the spooky writing of a hundred years ago, very atmospheric.
