The world of the famous mystic M.R. James is inhabited by ghosts, they wander through the forests, filling the surroundings with bitter lamentations, leaf through mysterious prayer books in old cathedrals, act out terrible scenes of murder in a doll's house, appear to take revenge on the vile sorcerer, animate ancient objects... The author's inexhaustible imagination, his love for the scary and terrible, amazingly combined with purely English humor, will force the reader to immerse himself in the stories he has invented.
