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 a chilling tale where childhood innocence is corrupted by pure malice.
The Haunted Dolls' House centers on a collector who acquires a beautiful, perfectly preserved miniature house. But this isn't a toy; it's a terrifying, diminutive theatre for the dead. Every night, the collector discovers the house's internal tableau has been subtly shifted, enacting a sinister nocturnal sequence of events. As the scenes change, they slowly but surely hint at a long-ago murder and the desperate, unquiet guilt of those involved.
This story is a quintessential example of James' genius for building palpable creeping dread from an everyday object, making it essential reading for fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction, proving that the deepest secrets of the past can be replayed in the most delicate of forms.
