A meditation on the dangers of curiosity and the haunting of aesthetics, this tale remains an unforgettable entry in the ghost story tradition.What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:A Chilling Classic of English Ghost Fiction - A pattern that carries more than just decorative charm.The Eerie Genius of M.R. James - Atmospheric buildup, suggestive horror, and ghostly restraint.A Modern, Reader-Friendly Edition - Faithfully adapted for contemporary audiences without losing its original impact.A Story About Objects That Remember - Explore the mystery of inherited hauntings and visual curses.Perfect for readers of psychological horror and supernatural fiction, The Diary of Mr. Poynter is a tale that proves some designs are better left forgotten.
