«Más historias de fantasmas de un anticuario» is the collection of stories by M.R. James published by Valdemar in hardback (224 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together seven ghost stories by M. R. James, whom H. P. Lovecraft considered a master of the genre. The collection appeared in 1911; the spectral breaks into everyday and scholarly settings with a malevolent tone and no occultist jargon. Among the tales in the volume are «Una historia escolar» and «Los sitiales de la catedral de Barchester».
It is the second instalment of the Ghost Stories of an Antiquary saga and belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection (no. 197).
Aimed at readers of classic horror and ghost stories set in Victorian times.
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.
