James's "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" is a seminal collection of supernatural tales that established many conventions of the modern ghost story.
Published in 1904, the stories are characterized by their scholarly narrators, realistic settings, and understated yet deeply unsettling horror.
James often set his tales in the familiar environments of academic life, such as libraries, museums, and ancient churches.
These stories focus on the discovery of some old book or object, which then unleashes a supernatural presence.
The true horror lies in the psychological impact on the protagonists as they grapple with inexplicable events.
