What if a room that doesn't exist could still reach out and haunt you?

M.R. James' Number 13 remains one of the most influential ghost stories in supernatural literature. In this eerie narrative, a British academic travels to a remote Danish town to study church records-only to find his hotel riddled with a growing, invisible horror. Room numbers change. Walls expand. And late at night, dancing shadows and chanting voices seep through the plaster. Though the hotel insists there's no Room 13, the man discovers it may not be empty-and it may not want to be found.

This modern translation adapts James' atmospheric prose into a format accessible for contemporary readers while preserving the original's creeping suspense and psychological dread.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

A Classic Ghost Story of Architectural Horror - When reality itself begins to twist, the danger becomes inescapable. The Legendary Craft of M.R. James - Subtle, unsettling buildup that leads to an unforgettable confrontation with the unknown. A Reader-Friendly Modern Adaptation - Carefully reworded for clarity while maintaining the chilling power of the original tale. A Story of Obsession and the Supernatural - Explore the fine line between reason and madness when faced with the impossible.

Perfect for fans of gothic fiction, haunted hotels, and tales of invisible terror, Number 13 will make you think twice before stepping into any unlabeled room.
