It's the shortest day of the year and here is MRJames final ghost story, submitted 12th December 1935 at the London Mercury - too late for the Christmas edition. It was as a result published posthumously the following year. This is from my collection, a rarity.

I have finally put my MR James collection, which is quite extensive, on the bookshelf that came from the Rhodes James family who were family friends. It came from the estate of MRJ niece, maybe Dr James, maybe from the family home, and at the very least owned by his brother Sydney. Goodnight

Under the shadow of the Sacre Coeur I discover I'm a distant cousin of Samuel Beckett. A good way to leave Paris, so be it.

A little girl on a London bus just now : "I'm a ghost and I can go through things in a weird way'. As an alleged expert on the subject, this description of ghosts I would say is as good as any. Goodnight.
