A manuscript on loan delivers doom to its seeker. An uncanny tome enthrals its reader to a course of evil. Welcome to the Haunted Library, a collection of cursed tales steeped in the arcane secrets and dark psychic traces to be found in the stacks and shelves of libraries, museums and other treasure troves of hidden knowledge. First published by the British Library in 2016, this expanded edition features several new stories and an updated introduction by Tanya Kirk, now ensconced in the realm of Jamesian terrors as librarian at St John’s College, Cambridge.

As he turned over its stiff and yellow pages, he noticed with pleasure the smell of corruption that had first repelled him in these decaying volumes, a smell, he now thought, of ancient and secret knowledge.
