The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance

The Story of a Disappearance and an Appearance is M. R. James at his most disquieting: where festive streets darken quickly, dreams twist into warnings, and something grotesque walks just beyond the edge of understanding.

Blending holiday cheer with a creeping sense of dread, this tale invites the listener to question what hides behind tradition, and what slips through the cracks of propriety.

Laced with unease and subtle horror, it is not merely a ghost story—it is a disturbance in the fabric of the ordinary.
