«Trece historias de fantasmas» is a volume of ghost stories by M. R. James, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (255 pages).
The volume brings together thirteen tales in which M. R. James brings the Victorian ghost story to maturity: the supernatural erupts into everyday settings, with irony, erudition and a realistic technique that plays on the reader's disbelief to provoke a shiver. Includes «El grabado», «La rosaleda» and «Panorama desde la colina».
Number 486 in the El Libro de Bolsillo collection from Alianza Editorial, with a prologue by Rafael Llopis and a translation by Francisco Torres Oliver. Published in 1973.
For readers interested in the classic ghost story and in horror literature of English origin.
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.
