The powerful sense of evil--darkness, creepy hairy presences, cloaks, hoods, talons, and tentacles--pervades these classic ghost stories by M. R. James. A Cambridge scholar himself, James explored what happens when academics dabble in things they don't understand and unleash forces of which they know nothing. The titles in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary range from witchcraft to the occult, and tap into our primal fear of things that go bump in the night. They are recognized as the best of their genre.

"You know I'm your best friend and would do anything for you, dude....but, I'm not kissing you!" he teased. Hearing that made me laugh and lightened my mood. That is, until we rounded the next corner. Blue and red lights were flashing near my house. I could see a portly police officer putting my Mom in the back of a squad car. She was handcuffed! I forgot about Connor and my note from April, and sprinted to my house as the police car containing my Mom drove off. I don't know when I started crying, but tears were streaming down my face. At first, I figured it was just snowflakes that landed on me, melting. I was screaming, trying to catch my mother. I didn't know what was going on. As I reached my house, a tall, middle-aged, uniformed officer asked if I was James Nelson. "Where did you take my Mom?" I screamed, through my sobbing and tears. "It'll be alright, son." The officer told me. "Are you James Nelson?" "YES! YES! Why did you take my Mom away?" I demanded. "Because she isn't your Mom," the tall officer answered. That's all I remembered before I fainted.

MY DEAR JANE, You remember that you were puzzled when I told you I had heard something from the owls-or if not puzzled (for I know you have some experience of these things), you were at any rate anxious to know exactly how it happened. Perhaps the time has now come for you to be told. It was really luck, and not any skill of mine, that put me in the way of it; luck, and also being ready to believe more than I could see. I have promised not to put down on paper the name of the wood where it happened: that can keep till we meet; but all the rest I can tell exactly as it came about.
