This chapter looks at the work of A.M. Burrage, arguing that he made a distinctive contribution to the ghost story through his use of humdrum settings and deliberately “ordinary” protagonists. It explores how he absorbed the influences of M.R. James and E.F. Benson and explains how his publishing practices have contributed to his critical neglect. The chapter discusses a number of his stories from the 1920s and 1930s including “The Waxwork,” “Smee,” and “The Green Scarf.”
