Climbing a local hill to enjoy the landscape, he uses the field-glasses only to see a world radically different from the one he expects: the binoculars do not show the present day, but a desolate, terrifying version of the past. The scene he observes is a sinister landscape steeped in ancient malice, complete with signs of long-forgotten burial sites and the chilling figure of something which belongs to the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom the mind of M. R. James, the acknowledged master who redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and founded the 'antiquarian ghost story' genre, comes a chilling tale where an ordinary view reveals a terrifying truth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis story is a quintessential example of James' genius for combining creeping dread with a chilling supernatural premise, making it essential reading for fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction, and proving that the past is sometimes only a lens away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e M.
