Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories contains the entire first two volumes of Jamesā€™s ghost stories, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary and More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. These volumes are both the culmination of the nineteenth-century ghost story tradition and the inspiration for much of the best twentieth-century work in this genre. Included in this collection are such landmark tales as ā€œCount Magnus,ā€ set in the wilds of Sweden; ā€œNumber 13,ā€ a distinctive tale about a haunted hotel room; ā€œCasting the Runes,ā€ a richly complex tale of sorcery that served as the basis for the classic horror film Curse of the Demon; and ā€œOh, Whistle, and Iā€™ll Come to You, My Lad,ā€ one of the most frightening tales in literature. The appendix includes several rare texts, including ā€œA Night in Kingā€™s College Chapel,ā€ Jamesā€™s first known ghost story.
