Rare manuscripts, dusty libraries, and the lingering malice of the dead.

This chilling collection is the second volume of ghostly tales from M. R. James (Montague Rhodes James), widely regarded as the most influential master of the English ghost story. A Cambridge scholar and Provost, James perfectly channeled his academic expertise into fiction, crafting subtle, terrifying narratives where quiet, scholarly men accidentally unleash horrors from the deepest corners of history.

James's stories are renowned for their slow-burn dread, their meticulous period detail, and the tangible sense of ancient evil contained within old books, church stalls, and unearthed artifacts.

This volume includes some of James's most essential masterpieces:

Casting the Runes: The definitive story of a cursed manuscript and the horrifying consequences of being named in its pages--a story that inspired countless modern tales of dark magic and fate. •

The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral: A chilling legend of ecclesiastical murder, a curse that manifests in carved wood, and the terrifying price of ambition. •

The Tractate Middoth: A tale where a search for a rare Hebrew manuscript leads a young librarian to a horrifying discovery and a vengeful spirit determined to keep its secrets. •

Martin's Close: A historical mystery based on a 17th-century murder trial, where the supernatural truth emerges through the cool, dispassionate lens of the court records. •

Rejecting melodrama for understated terror, M. R. James delivers pure, intellectual horror. These stories prove that the truest ghosts are those summoned by the hubris of men who pry into things they should leave well alone.
