Ghost Stories of an Antiquary by M.R. James
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary contains eight tasty little nuggets of supernatural horror that I found very satisfying.

Often the stories revolve around an ancient artifact able to invoke the otherworldly that is discovered by these particularly luckless individuals (though they often feel themselves lucky indeed when they first make their discoveries).
