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.

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?

Wonderful!

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