Set among dark cathedrals, remote inns, and rural estates, with ancient artifacts of awful power lurking in the shadows, a sense of dread and unease builds until some terrible force is unleashed. Whether confronting undead monstrosities, elemental demons or slithering ghosts, James' stories warn of the dangers of unbridled curiosity and the corruptibility of human nature among even the most innocent-seeming men.
