Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories

This annotated edition features M. R. James's complete first two volumes of ghost stories, showcasing key works that shaped the genre. Notable tales include "Count Magnus," set in Sweden, and "Number 13," about a haunted hotel room. The collection also includes "Casting the Runes," which inspired the film Curse of the Demon, and the chilling "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad." An appendix with rare texts, including James's first ghost story, adds depth to this essential anthology for horror enthusiasts.
