In this particular story, a traveller in Sweden stumbles upon the history of a mysterious and ominous figure, Count Magnus. Apparently the count went on a ‘black pilgrimage’, the details of which are discovered by the traveller in an alchemical textbook. However, it might not be the best of ideas to go poking around in the history of such a mysterious man....

Code Name VFO565 - With everything in life, there is a beginning and the end is not always known. If you had told me that I would be at OATH OF EVIL - The War on Protestantism, GMJ 51, when I was writing Code Name VFO565 - the first GMJ novel, just after the unexpected passing of my wife in 2014, I would have shaken my head in disbelief. Writing the GMJ Books has kept me sane. They take me to another world and one that I thought I had left behind. But it was not to be. I now understand that it takes more than two roubles to get out of the Great Game. Of course, you are warned by the old ...

Mystery surrounds a certain Mr. Karswell. He has purchased an old abbey, is a known alchemist, and has written a ludicrous history of witchcraft. Are these mysterious behaviors those of an irascible eccentric or a coldhearted murderer?

Here we deal with the death of a soulmate and a man driven to take revenge for her untimely death. This is where the story really starts and much is revealed about the narrator, Geoffrey Foxtrot.

Code Name Devorah deals with the use of armoured fighting vehicles in unconventional warfare scenarios. During my life, I have spoken to many South African armour officers, a breed apart and to be avoided if possible. They proudly follow something between the Russian and Prussian outlook on war. The Russians see war as a science, a mathematical exercise. The Prussians see war as an art where instinct plays a large role and the commander must have a “feeling” for the battle. The South African Armour officers combined the two doctrines to fit their needs; they see logistics, by God, and ...

In Code Name Honey Bee, we look at how Intelligence Agencies help each other out on request. You may not know this, but the Great Game is in many ways a closed gentlemen’s club. The club members are known to each other and some may be called friends even if from different nations with vastly different political systems. Probably the only good reason to justify a spy agency’s existence is the ability to pass accurate messages between (at times enemy) governments. Therefore, spymasters constantly talk to each other. This does not make them traitors per se, they will not reveal more than ...

Step into the quiet English countryside, where serenity hides shadows, and ancient grounds guard forgotten secrets. In M. R. James's chilling tale The Rose Garden, a simple act—planting roses on a peaceful estate—unearths more than just soil. Whispers in the wind, a cursed corner of land, and a long-buried injustice begin to stir. Elegant, eerie, and steeped in the uncanny, this masterfully told ghost story unfolds with James's signature subtlety and scholarly dread.

The Treasure of Abbot Thomas draws its listener into a labyrinth of ancient secrets, cryptic clues, and a warning that should never have been ignored. In this masterwork of antiquarian dread, M. R. James summons a world where curiosity is a dangerous impulse, and knowledge—particularly the hidden kind—has its price. With echoes of stone chambers and whispered Latin, this is a tale not merely of treasure, but of the peril that guards it. Let your ears adjust to the dark—and beware what answers back.

A picture that changes. A scholar who watches. A nightmare unfolding one shadow at a time. Forget jump scares—this is horror in its most refined form. The Mezzotint is a slow-burn classic where dread creeps in like fog and nothing is ever quite as it seems. M. R. James delivers a ghost story that gets under your skin—and stays there. Mysterious, unsettling, and quietly terrifying.

With masterful restraint and emotional undercurrent, James reminds us that the most chilling hauntings are those born in the mind—and never truly forgotten.
