Book description
I first read this slim book of ghost tales ten years ago, and, as a great admirer of Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, was initially disappointed in these five tales. I took them for weak imitations of James earlier triumphs, their potential power dissipated by Dickensian humor, unwelcome digressions, and convoluted plots.A second reading has changed my mind. What I once saw as imitation now seems more like experiment, a movement away from the comforting antiquarian tale toward more palpable horror: inexplicable piles of insect husks, hairy things spawned from haunted wallpaper, and the life-in-death terror that puppets possess in dreams. The domestic humor and narrative distortions I once deplored are conjurers tricks James uses to disorient the reader, leaving him more susceptible—and therefore more vulnerable—to nightmare. The conventional furniture--even the titles--of these stories function as forms of misdirection. Sinister chests remain unopened, old books reveal little, tomb effigies are never identified, “The Residence at Whitminster” ghost has no real connection with the church, Mr. Poynters Diary is more important for the baleful object slipped between its pages than for anything imparted by its text, and the appearance referred to in “The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance” (a narrative as fragmented and disturbing as anything in Thomas Ligotti) does little to resolve the mystery of its tale.One last thought: A Thin Ghost and Others was originally published in 1919 when the chills of the traditional Christmas Eve ghost story must have seemed absurdly precious compared to the reality of trench warfare, even from the ivory tower perspective of Cambridge don M.R. James. Might this have something to do with the darkening tone, the chaotic atmosphere of these stories?
