The Stalls Of Barchester Cathedral by M. R. James
An antiquary sorting through a cathedral library’s papers pieces together the rise and fall of an ambitious archdeacon whose secret complicity in his predecessor’s death precedes the installation of richly carved choir stalls. The archdeacon’s diary records mounting visitations—a hooded figure and a malignant black cat, grotesquely mirrored in the woodwork—that close in with relentless dread. The archival mystery resolves in a grim act of supernatural retribution, where craftsmanship and conscience expose a long-buried crime.
