The James Hansone Ghost Mysteries Omnibus by Paul Money Pdf

Enjoy the first five James Hansone Ghost Mystery books in one Omnibus edition at almost half price of the combined five paperback novels! Follow the exploits of IT consultant and software developer James Hansone as he accidentally becomes a Ghost Hunter after taking 'A Ghostly Diversion' when he passes a run down cottage on the outskirts of the rural Lincolnshire village of Grasceby. In book 2 James is reluctantly roped in to discover 'The Secrets of Grasceby Manor' when two ghosts begin to haunt the manor as refurbishment work disturbs them. Book 3 'Return to De Grasceby Manor and the search for Helen' James has to solve the disappearance of his ex wife before becoming involved in discovering what really happened to the first De Grasceby Manor's occupants. In book 4 'James and the Air of Tragedy' he has to solve a new mystery ghost at the cottage and uncovers a grave injustice that he has to put right. Finally (for now!) in book 5 'The Haunting of Grasceby Rectory' James finds himself down in Devon on false pretences and has to solve the mystery of the 'Rocking Chair Lady' whilst Sally, his wife, suddenly finds herself being asked to help the Rev Cossant when three ghosts begin to haunt the Rectory and James is unavailable.

The Anthology of Ghost Stories of M. R. James (tales of horror and mystery). Illustrated by M. R. James Pdf

The Collected Ghost Stories of M. R. James is an omnibus collection of ghost stories. Many of these stories are time-tested classics. Montague Rhodes James is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some consider among the best in the genre. He redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, his protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story". H. P. Lovecraft was an admirer of James's work, extolling the stories as the peak of the ghost story form in his essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature".

Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories by M. R. James Pdf

The only annotated edition of M. R. James’s writings currently available Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories contains the entire first two volumes of James’s ghost stories, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary and More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. These volumes are both the culmination of the nineteenth-century ghost story tradition and the inspiration for much of the best twentieth-century work in this genre. Included in this collection are such landmark tales as “Count Magnus,” set in the wilds of Sweden; “Number 13,” a distinctive tale about a haunted hotel room; “Casting the Runes,” a richly complex tale of sorcery that served as the basis for the classic horror film Curse of the Demon; and “Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad,” one of the most frightening tales in literature. The appendix includes several rare texts, including “A Night in King’s College Chapel,” James’s first known ghost story. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Ghost Stories by M. R. James Pdf

Malignant forces and supernatural visitors haunt this selection of superbly spooky tales selected and introduced by Ruth Rendell. M. R. James wrote his ghost stories to entertain friends on Christmas Eve, and they went on to both transform and modernise a genre. James harnesses the power of suggestion to move from a recognisable world to one that is indefinably strange, and then unforgettably terrifying. Sheets, pictures, carvings, a dolls house, a lonely beach, a branch tapping on a window - ordinary things take on more than a tinge of dread in the hands of the original master of suspense.
