Ghost Stories 2
About this book
This is the second collection of chilling ghost stories by M. R. James."A Warning to the Curious" features a young man who excavates an ancient crown—but soon wishes he had let it stay buried. In "The Mezzotint," an engraving of a manor house reveals more than first meets the eye, while in "The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral", an archdeacon's journal reveals the strange circumstances that led to his death. The final story, "A Neighbour's Landmark", tells of a gentleman whose curiosity is piqued by a strange rhyme, leading him to take a walk through Betton Woods. Narrated by BAFTA and Emmy award–winning actor Sir Derek Jacobi (Cadfael, Gosford Park, Doctor Who), and with eerie, evocative music, these four haunting stories will thrill anyone who loves to be terrified.
