A Thin Ghost and Others is M. R. James’s third collection of ghost tales. It comprises five eerie stories— “The Residence at Whitminster,” “The Diary of Mr. Poynter,” “An Episode of Cathedral History,” “The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance,” and “Two Doctors.” James, a scholar and antiquarian, uses everyday settings—cathedrals, diaries, legal ledgers—to unsettle readers when mundane objects reveal unsettling supernatural forces. The volume marks his “puzzle‑story phase,” inviting interpretation rather than offering clear resolutions. It cemented his reputation as a master of subtle, scholarly horror and remains a touchstone in early 20th‑century ghost fiction.
