{"product_id":"book-dery","title":"Casting the Runes, and Other Classic Stories of the Supernatural","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnglish author Montague Rhodes James (1862-1936) is considered by many aficionados the unquestioned master of the modern ghost story, and several of his tales have served as source material for multiple creepy film versions. He broke new ground by abandoning many of the conventions of gothic mysteries and substituting contemporary settings, situations, and characters. Nevertheless, as a Cambridge medieval scholar, James was steeped in the esoteric lore of the Middle Ages, and he applied that scholarship brilliantly to his stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four stories in this compilation not by James are meant to serve as prime illustrations of the best work of a few of his contemporaries and immediate antecedents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents include:\u003cbr\u003eCasting the Runes - M.
