A review by nightcrawler79
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R. James, E.F. Bleiler, John MacBride

3.0

The ghosts, or at least their reveals, are often not very scary. James excels at the verisimilitude (especially via his detached, academic narrators), at setting a stage that seems quite real. He is less skilled at making the ghosts seem real, or, as I said frightening. Of all the stories here, I liked "The Mezzotint" the most for a clever approach to revealing the story, and an effective mood.
