Three tales of the restless dead by M R James, the master of the English ghost story.
“His eyes were deep-sunk. And over them, from the brows to the cheek-bone, hung cobwebs. Thick, grey cobwebs…”
Three tales of the restless dead, by the master of the English ghost story.
In Rats a reading holiday in a quiet coastal inn is thrown into confusion by a horribly thin Something in the neighbouring room. In An Evening’s Entertainment a blackberry thicket on a country lane conceals the site of a blasphemous and bloody ritual. And in The Tractate Middoth the bookstacks of a University Library are host to an unnaturally strong smell of dust…
There are no safe spaces in the world of M R James. Suitable for ages 14+
