What if a piece of fabric carried the imprint of a ghost? The Diary of Mr. Poynter is one of M.R. James' most understated yet psychologically disturbing stories. When an antiquarian named James Denton discovers an old diary, he becomes fascinated with a cryptic entry referencing a curtain pattern.

A meditation on the dangers of curiosity and the haunting of aesthetics, this tale remains an unforgettable entry in the ghost story tradition.
