Quand j’étais étudiant (au siècle dernier), chaque soir, après avoir travaillé à la bibliothèque, j’allais lire une ou deux nouvelles de M. R. James dans cet ouvrage. J’ai cherché pendant des années à retrouver ce livre, je l’ai enfin chez moi. J’ai lu ces histoires en anglais cent fois, depuis, mais rien ne vaut la version française de ma jeunesse. #mrjames #ghostsandscholars #ghoststories #histoiresdefantomes #fantastique #book #livre #nostalgie #nostalgy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq1NSYIq0m/?igshid=18254upk5mh1m

As the nights draw in and autumn's chill fills the air, it's the perfect time to curl up with something Jamesian and unsettling. This beautiful volume of folk horror tales, edited by the estimable Rosemary Pardoe and published by Sarob Press, contains a wealth of stories selected from the Ghosts & Scholars journal and newsletter, as well as new tales written especially for this volume. The latter includes my story, Out of the Water, Out of the Ground, in which, as Rosemary describes in her introduction, "while the setting is Scotland, the Folk Horror comes terrifyingly from pre-war Germany"... 🍂💀 #mrjames #ghostsandscholars #rosemarypardoe #sarobpress #folkhorror #ghoststories #shortfiction #autumn #books #bookstagram #bibliophilia https://www.instagram.com/p/BoWWZF2lyd7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lsexx2h3clew
