About

“His eyes were deep-sunk. And over them, from the brows to the cheek-bone, hung cobwebs. Thick, grey cobwebs…”

Robert Lloyd Parry returns with three tales of the restless dead, by the master of the English ghost story, M R James.

In 'Rats' a scholarly holiday in a quiet coastal inn is thrown into confusion by a horribly thin Something in the neighbouring room. In 'An Evening’s Entertainment' a blackberry thicket on a country lane conceals the site of a blasphemous and bloody rite. And in 'The Tractate Middoth' the bookstacks of a University Library are host to an unnaturally strong smell of dust…

“The perfect mix of humour, warmth, apprehension and profound unease. A most pleasing terror…”   The Sunday Times

★★★★ Riveting… The Daily Mail
