A collector of antiquities acquires a priceless ancient book in M R. James' Canon Alberic's Scrapbook - only to find that something evil hides within its pages. A young wife becomes obsessed with the wallpaper in the room of her holiday home in Charlotte Perkins' The Yellow Wallpaper. A man is tormented by the embalmed hand of his deceased uncle in W. F. Harvey's The Beast with Five Fingers. For the protagonists of these three supernatural stories, ghostly terror lurks beneath the surface of ordinary life, and reality can all too easily fray at the seams...
Evocatively read by three of Britain's finest actors, and with atmospheric music, these eerie, enthralling tales are perfect listening for dark winter nights.
