Hilarious.. for a kind of ghost story...

M.R. James often takes a different path; this is humorous, but thought provoking:
what if our possessions.. conspire against us?

Malevolent Objects Indeed

Another great short story from MR James. The title aptly describes the tale. Either the gentleman was was very bad or very unlucky. Excellent narration for a creepy tale.

Wonderful!

M. R. James' humor to the forefront. Ah, the Twilight Zone owed his heirs and assigns some shekels I fear.
