The Beast with Five Fingers

When a brilliant but blind scholar dies, his legacy leaves behind more than books and unfinished theories. What remains is a presence—subtle at first, then impossible to deny.

The Beast with Five Fingers is a masterwork of early 20th-century supernatural horror, where intellect, skepticism, and rational explanation steadily erode under the pressure of something that should not exist. Set within shadowed libraries, lonely houses, and candlelit rooms, the story follows a man of science confronted by an entity that moves with purpose, memory, and malice—yet defies every known law of nature.

W. F. Harvey builds terror not through spectacle, but through accumulation: strange movements in the dark, marks left behind, doors opened without cause, and the growing certainty that the human hand—once trained, disciplined, and educated—may not be finished with its work after death.

Calm, intelligent, and deeply unsettling, this is horror rooted in restraint and psychological dread rather than violence. A classic of supernatural fiction, The Beast with Five Fingers remains as disturbing today as when it first appeared, posing a quiet but unforgettable question:

What happens when skill, intention, and will survive the body?

Narrated by Myriam Berger, this audiobook brings a refined, atmospheric voice to one of the most enduring and chilling ghost stories of the Edwardian era.
