Produktbeschreibung

Professor Parkins, a rational scholar on holiday at Burnstow, discovers an ancient bronze whistle among the ruins of a Templar preceptory. Curious, he blows it, unwittingly summoning a terrifying presence that takes shape in the bedclothes of his hotel room. Despite his disbelief in the supernatural, Parkins faces a nightmarish encounter-only saved by the timely intervention of Colonel Wilson, who disposes of the whistle.

Autorenporträt

Montague Rhodes James (1862 - 1936), who published under the name M. R. James, was an English author, medievalist scholar and provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905-18) and of Eton College (1918-36). Though James's work as a medievalist is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are regarded as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story".
