Montague Rhodes James OM FBA (1 August 1862 ? 12 June 1936) was an English medievalist scholar and author 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. James's stories continue to influence many of today's great supernatural writers, including Stephen King (who discusses James in the 1981 non-fiction book Danse Macabre) and Ramsey Campbell, who edited Meddling with Ghosts: Stories in the Tradition of M. R. James and wrote the short story "The Guide" in tribute. A superb copy in a slightly flawed slipcase.LOC. Nº de ref. del artículo: 251029001
