Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge, and of Eton College as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror. "Rats" is a short ghost story first published in At Random magazine (March 23, 1929). It was later included in the anthology The Collected Ghost Stories of M. R. James (1931).
