James is considered the founder of the distinctive "antiquarian" branch of the Gothic short story. Ancient documents, manuscripts, scrolls, and engravings play a prominent role in his stories, and the action unfolds in churches and cathedrals, colleges and museums, archives and libraries, whose tranquil peace is disturbed by strange, eerie, and invariably hostile otherworldly creatures. A natural storyteller, James masterfully builds tension, skillfully balancing plausibility with unreality, and terrifies the reader with a sense of the inevitability of a tragic ending.

This edition includes his collections "Antiquer's Ghost Tales" and "New Antiquarian's Ghost Tales," considered the pinnacle of James's work. Many of the stories have been adapted for film, and "Antiquer's Ghost Tales" has been named one of the hundred best books ever written in the horror genre.
