Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936), who wrote as M. R. James, was an English author, middle ages scholar, and provost of King's College, Cambridge, and of Eton College. He is most widely known for his excellent ghost stories. James reinvented the ghost story for the present day audience by leaving Gothic elements and using realistic contemporary configurations. His protagonists and plots often mirrored his own antiquarian hobbies. The Story of the Disappearance and an Appearance is a peculiar tale told in the form of four mysterious characters. The writer's uncle, the rector in a small market town, has mysteriously vanished in the days before Christmas. The writer of the characters has been summoned to help the search for the missing man. He writes every day to his sibling to update him on occurrences...and describes a series of most bizarre and inexplicable happenings.
