The tales, including «La nave fantasma», «Oh, fischia, ed io verrò» and «La cuccetta superiore», appeal to supernatural fear with oppressive atmospheres and unsettling endings.

For readers of classic horror and the British ghost story of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with an interest in anthologies by established authors of the genre.
Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936) as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1913–1915). James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror.
