Although I had read the two James stories (title story and The Rose Garden) in his Collected Ghost Stories within the last year, I re-read them along with Stevenson's The Body Snatcher. For me, James is a better writer in this genre; his ghost stories are genuinely chilling, whereas Stevenson's is

no more than macabre and didn't draw me in as much.

Genuinely creepy tales where less is more and Mr. James lets your imagination fill in the details.
