About this map
This map features real-world locations which appear in the ghost stories and the life of ghost story author M.R. James.
Many of his stories feature thinly-disguised versions of real-world locations that were familiar to him. This map features those location which James admitted to basing his stories on, as well as a selection of locations which he did not own up to, but which may have provided him with inspiration.
This map is currated by Will and Mike of A Podcast to the Curious, the podcast dedicated to the weird fiction of M.R. James!
