James is, of course, the greatest of the ghost story writers - I still shudder at "A School Story", which I read as a child, and the scene at the shore in "Oh, Whistle, and I come to you, my lad" is (for me) one of the spookiest images in literature. To my personal taste, and regarding to ghost stories, only E. F. Benson and H. R. Wakefield come close to M.R. James.
