Ghost Stories of an Antiquary
M.R. James
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Step into a world of ancient manuscripts, crumbling cathedrals, and things that go bump in the night. Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is M.R. James’s chilling masterpiece—an enduring collection of supernatural tales that defined the modern English ghost story.
First published in 1904, these eight classic stories are subtle, sophisticated, and deeply unsettling. Rather than blood and gore, James evokes fear through atmosphere, suggestion, and a creeping sense of dread. His protagonists—often quiet scholars or antiquarians—stumble upon cursed relics, forgotten manuscripts, and haunted places that awaken forces best left undisturbed.
This audiobook collection includes some of James’s most famous and haunting tales:
"Canon Alberic’s Scrap-Book""Lost Hearts""The Mezzotint""The Ash-Tree"…and more spine-tingling stories filled with ancient horrors and otherworldly retribution.
Perfect for fans of subtle, literary horror, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is a must-listen for dark winter nights, long walks through foggy woods, or anyone who loves a masterfully told tale of the supernatural.
