What if a piece of fabric carried the imprint of a ghost?
The Diary of Mr. Poynter is one of M.R. James' most understated yet psychologically disturbing stories. When an antiquarian named James Denton discovers an old diary, he becomes fascinated with a cryptic entry referencing a curtain pattern. But as this pattern is recreated in his home, strange events unfold-whispers in the night, sensations of being watched, and the appearance of an unseen presence connected to the long-dead diarist.
This modern translation presents the story in fresh, accessible language while preserving James' masterful tension and quiet terror. A meditation on the dangers of curiosity and the haunting of aesthetics, this tale remains an unforgettable entry in the ghost story tradition.
