Step into a world where the past whispers, and the unseen waits to strike. In this iconic collection, M.R. James, the unrivaled master of the ghost story, delivers eight tales of creeping dread and supernatural menace. With an antiquarian’s eye for detail and a storyteller’s instinct for suspense, James sets his haunting narratives in quiet English villages, ancient cathedrals, and forgotten corners of history where the boundary between the mundane and the malevolent grows perilously thin. Uncover the chilling mystery of "Canon Alberic’s Scrap-Book," feel the icy terror of "Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad," and shudder at the spectral pursuit in "The Mezzotint." Each tale is a masterclass in atmosphere and suggestion, drawing readers into a world of ominous shadows and lurking horrors. For lovers of Gothic fiction and supernatural tales, "Ghost Stories of an Antiquary" is an essential and enduring classic. Its subtle, spine-tingling scares remind us that the most unsettling horrors are the ones just out of sight. Let these timeless tales of terror transport you into the eerie unknown—if you dare.
