Autor

Reverend Richard Henry Malden, born in 1879, was a notable English author and cleric best known for his contribution to ghost story literature. Although not as prolific as some of his contemporaries, Malden's collection 'Nine Ghosts,' published in 1943, has earned him a place amongst aficionados of the supernatural literary genre. Epitomizing the classic English ghost story tradition, his tales are characterized by a subtle build-up of suspense and a profound sense of unease rather than overt horror. Malden's erudite background as an academic and clergyman at Cambridge University enriched his stories with a distinctive sophistication and credibility. His work reflects the influence of eminent Victorian ghost story authors such as M.R. James, with whom Malden shared a close friendship during his time at King's College. This connection is often cited as a pivotal influence on his literary style. Malden's 'Nine Ghosts' remains a gem for connoisseurs of the genre, valued for its elegance, psychological depth, and enduring enigmatic quality. Despite the brevity of his literary output, Malden's contribution to the ghost story tradition has carved out a lasting niche in the edifice of British supernatural fiction.
