In Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, renowned scholar M.R. James invites readers into a world where ancient manuscripts, forgotten relics, and eerie artifacts hold secrets too terrifying to remain buried. Through dusty libraries, abandoned churches, and haunted landscapes, unsuspecting antiquarians and scholars find themselves confronted by malevolent forces from beyond the grave. Each tale offers a chilling reminder that the past may not always rest quietly.
With subtle terror and masterful suspense, James delivers eight haunting tales that have become classics of supernatural fiction. Will those who seek knowledge uncover more than they bargained for, or will the ancient horrors lurking in the shadows claim their next victims?
