Description
A homage to M R James. It is 1904, and an Oxford don decides to spend the Christmas vacation conducting research in rural Norfolk. But in the library of the country house where he is staying, he finds the records of a terrifying tragedy. A short story.

A SHORT GHOST STORY
London, 1897. An elderly bibliophile receives a letter from the recently retired head of the Bodleian Library in Oxford. But the tale it relates of a book buying journey to Cracow soon turns into a hellish nightmare.
A homage to M R James, the undisputed master of the Victorian antiquarian ghost story .
Please note: this is a short story like the original M R James short stories. It is about 4,000 words long, in a 32-page small format book (7" x 4.3").
