A Neighbour's Landmark (Fantasy and Horror Classics)
About this book
A seemingly tranquil piece of countryside that holds a dark secret. A prominent, ancient landmark has vanished, leaving behind not a quiet absence, but a legacy of fear that permeates the land.
The silence is broken by an eerie, mournful presence: a voice of lament that haunts the area, forever mourning the loss of the landmark and pointing toward the injustice of its removal. The local lore and the spectral sounds hint at a deeper history and a curse that refuses to lift.
From the mind of M. R. James, the acknowledged master who redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and founded the 'antiquarian ghost story' genre, comes a chilling tale where the landscape itself refuses to forget an ancient wrong.
This story is a quintessential example of James' genius for building palpable creeping dread from folklore and the deep past, making it essential reading for fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction, proving that some scars on the earth never truly heal.
