The Diaries of M. R. Templeton

An imagining of what could have occurred had M. R. James, England’s foremost writer of tales of the supernatural, not pursued a life in academia but instead followed his interest in antiquarianism.

It is England in the 1880s. These are dark days for the poor and downtrodden. But darker still are the things which go unseen, things not of this world which lurk in the mists and shadows waiting to prey on the unwary. Here is a record of the sinister and terrifying encounters experienced by M. R. Templeton, museum archivist and researcher whose job it is to identify ancient artefacts and writings. But this seemingly straightforward task brings him face to face with malevolent forces as he discovers the origins of these strange objects. He uncovers the horrors that befell those who once owned them. For they, having dared to disturb that which should not have been disturbed found themselves pursued by unimaginable evil.

Every account is filled with brooding and menace, with tales ranging from the eerie and unearthly to the macabre and demonic.
