Amyas Northcote, first published in 1921, In Ghostly Company is the only work of fiction by Amyas Northcote, a contemporary of M.R. James at Eton. Northcote's collection appeared during what many consider the golden age of ghost stories, and it stands as one of the strongest collections of tales to be published during that period. Yet despite its quality, the book has remained relatively obscure, known primarily to collectors and enthusiasts of the genre.
