Some of the most terrifying secrets are hidden inside objects that appear completely ordinary.
Discover Ghost Stories of an Antiquary, the classic collection that established M. R. James as one of the defining voices of English supernatural fiction.
Across these atmospheric tales, scholars, collectors, and curious travelers encounter mysterious manuscripts, ancient artifacts, forgotten buildings, and strange discoveries that open the door to the supernatural.
