Location: UK		I read M R James's Ghost Stories of an Antiquary on a suitable rainy dull October day,. Much more restrained than Poe,less exotic than Lovecraft,just a sedate selection of tales about literary gentlemen searching out arcane manuscripts,sketches where the picture changes,a hotel room 13 that is only there occasionally,it disappears during the day,a curse from a witch on a family,and the consequences of blowing on an old whistle found on a beach. Not as melodramatic as Poe,and nearly everyone survives encounters with the supernatural.Occasionally the excellent premise of the tales is let down by rather weak execution,but all in all it was good fun.
