Overview: Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936), Provost of King’s College, Cambridge, and later of Eton, was a noted medieval scholar, antiquary, and expert on Bible apocrypha. He also authored some of the greatest and most influential ghost stories in the English language. There are approximately forty of his supernatural tales (some incomplete), most of which were published in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904), More Ghost Stories (1911), A Thin Ghost and Others (1919), A Warning to the Curious (1925) and The Collected Ghost Stories of M.R. James (1931). Among them are famous titles such as "Casting the Runes" and "Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad". James also wrote a short supernatural fairy-tale novel for children, The Five Jars (1922).
M.R. James can arguably be described as the Father of the Modern Ghost Story, and Ghosts & Scholars Magazine continued the Jamesian tradition, as well as encouraging scholarly research into James, his themes and his followers. Founded in 1979, it was a small press, non-profit journal containing new stories, articles, reviews, columns and artwork. Ghosts & Scholars 33 (December 2001) was the final issue. In 2002 it was succeeded by The Ghosts & Scholars M.R. James Newsletter, which is similar in content but does not usually include new fiction.
