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”).

 

Reseña del editor:

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 homage to M R James. FIVE STARS 'Mysterious, intelligent and wonderfully creepy.' (The Reader's Hollow) 'Ultimately, Selwood has written what can only be described as a perfect short story. Any reader who loves a high quality work of fiction will definitely appreciate this short story, because the research alone is fascinating - it is rich with interesting information and references, but it also captures a pleasantly dark mood. There is nothing predictable about the story and the only way to know what is going to happen next is by reading the next page.' (Horrorpalace)
