Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936)
was a medieval scholar; Provost of King's
College, Cambridge. He wrote many of
his ghost stories to be read aloud in the
long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve
tales. His stories often use rural settings,
wi th a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting
caught up in the activities of supernatural
forces. The details of horror are almost
never explicit, the stories relying on a
gentle, bucolic background to emphasise
the awfulness of the otherworldly
intrusions.
