An antique dealer sells a doll’s house whose tiny rooms replay a family crime by night. Elsewhere, a prayer-book with an unusual psalm turns deadly, a pair of field-glasses shows a landscape of the past, and a young man on the Suffolk coast digs up one of the lost crowns said to guard England, and learns its watcher has not given up.
Six stories in James’s final ghost-story collection, scholarly, understated and still among the most frightening in English. Download the free EPUB.
