From the mind of M. R. James, the acknowledged master who redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and founded the 'antiquarian ghost story' genre, comes the very first tale of his landmark collection, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary.
Canon Alberic's Scrapbook introduces a meticulous English antiquary visiting a cathedral town in France. Always on the hunt for forgotten relics, he purchases a seemingly unique, grotesque scrapbook compiled centuries ago by a former Canon. However, this is no mere curiosity. As the scholar examines the disturbing contents, he realises he has brought home more than just a historical artifact. The scrapbook carries with it a dark, residual presence that manifests with chilling, unforgettable terror.
This story is a quintessential example of James' genius for building creeping dread around the quiet world of academic research, making it essential reading for fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction, and the perfect introduction to the world of scholarly horror.
