A young boy has nightmares that reveal a terrible truth; a mezzotint becomes a sinister living tableau; a macabre human drama is re-enacted in a delightful Gothic dolls' house; a hotel room mysteriously appears and disappears. Small possessions are imbued with a strange significance: a manuscript bears an ancient curse, a whistle has strange powers.M. R. James, a brilliant scholar with a love of medieval history, admitted to looking into the dark corners of his room before retiring, partly in fear and partly in the hope of finding something supernatural. The strange, chilling events conju red in these stories are certain to have the reader doing the same.
