Publisher's Synopsis
Ghost Stories of an Antiquary V2 is a collection of chilling tales written by Montague Rhodes James, a renowned scholar of medieval literature and a master of the supernatural. The book includes ten stories, each one more eerie and unsettling than the last. From haunted houses to cursed artifacts, from malevolent spirits to vengeful ghosts, James weaves together a tapestry of horror that will leave readers riveted and terrified. The stories are set in various locations, from the English countryside to the desolate moors of Scotland, and are populated by a diverse cast of characters, including clergymen, scholars, antiquarians, and even a ghost hunter. But no matter the setting or the protagonist, the stories all share a common theme: the past is never truly dead, and the sins of our ancestors can come back to haunt us in the most terrifying ways imaginable. With its vivid descriptions, spine-tingling suspense, and masterful use of atmosphere, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary V2 is a must-read for anyone who loves a good scare.'Well, Mr Garrett, ' said Mrs Simpson, who had not yet resumed her work, and was looking at the fire thoughtfully, 'I shall tell you the story. You will please keep it to yourself, if you don't mind? Thank you. Now it is just this. I had an old uncle, a Dr Rant. Perhaps you may have heard of him. Not that he was a distinguished man, but from the odd way he chose to be buried.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
