The Ghost Stories of M. R. James (British Library Classics) (British Library Hardback Classics)

Product Information

Sir John Betjeman, in an introduction to Peter Haining's book about James, shows how influenced he was by James's work: Sometimes the horror of the discovery of the supernatural being is enough to chill the reader, sometimes the spirits involved, as in the Ash-Tree or Lost Hearts result in the death of the victim of their revenge.

ISBN 978-1-108-03053-3Conocido también como: ‘El mensaje de la muerte’, ésta es otra de las genialidades de M.R James. Una historia muy siniestra y potente, que mezcla maldiciones y mal de ojo, mediante rituales negros ( a través del lenguaje rúnico). Bastante perversa y aterradora sicológicamente. Resultará tensa e inapacible hasta para el lector, por su intensidad. Otras de sus obras maestras (¡y cual no lo es!?).
