In one of M.R. James’ creepiest short stories, a night of terror plays out with every glimpse at a static picture and the viewer is powerless to prevent a dark figure’s progress.

'The Mezzotint' is taken from the second volume of the Victorian Anthologies Horror series, featuring short stories by classic writers of the spooky, the scary and the supernatural. Guaranteed to give you the shivers, each collection includes familiar and loved creepy tales as well as those less well-known. With music by Benedict Edwards.
