James, a master of ghostly tales, weaves narratives that are both chilling and thought-provoking, examining the thin veil that separates our reality from the unknown.
The Story
Each story in this anthology presents a unique encounter with the supernatural, often featuring scholarly protagonists who stumble upon ancient artefacts or haunted locations. James’s meticulous attention to detail and his ability to evoke a sense of place create an immersive reading experience.
