M. R. James
Sometimes the greatest horrors lurk in the most mundane places This collection features some of M. R. James’s greatest tales of the supernatural world crossing over into our own. In “Number 13,” an inn that previously belonged to an alchemist changes dimensions in the night. “The Mezzotint” features a painting of a house reenacting a gruesome scene from the house’s history. In “The Treasure of Abbot Thomas,” an antiquary who has discovered the location of a treasure gets far more than he bargained for. James’s tales of the terror that hides beneath the prosaic continue to stun more than a century after they were written. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

"A decent collection of stories. The language style of the narrative is more of the 19th Century (to be expected, considering when they were written) which sometimes made it harder to read or take longer to get to the point (The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral was a perfect example of a narrative dragging in the beginning, although that one did have an interesting ending). <br/><br/>Most of the stories were very good and creepy. I'm not sure what the division was between part 1 and part 2 but I tended to enjoy those from part 1 more."
