Casting the Runes

M. R. James revolutionized the ghost story genre in the 20th century by moving away from Gothic clichés and incorporating realistic contemporary settings. "Casting the Runes," one of his most renowned tales, showcases his innovative approach and was later adapted into a 1958 film. This edition aims to make his classic works accessible again, featuring the original text and artwork, while highlighting the rarity and rising costs of early occult stories from the early 1900s.
