A Warning to the Curious and Other Ghost Stories is supernatural tales by British author M.R. James. The story follows Paxton, an antiquarian who uncovers one of the legendary crowns of East Anglia, believed to protect the country from invasion. After taking the crown, Paxton becomes haunted by its supernatural guardian. Despite efforts to return the artifact, Paxton meets a tragic end, and the narrator, along with his friend Long, is left to grapple with the unsettling events. The narrative explores themes of greed, the supernatural, and the consequences of disturbing ancient relics.

M. R. James

Montague Rhodes James was a medievalist scholar and Provost of King’s College, Cambridge. He wrote many of his ghost stories to be read aloud in the long tradition of spooky Christmas Eve tales. His stories often use rural settings, with a quiet, scholarly protagonist getting caught up in the activities of supernatural forces. The details of horror are almost never explicit; instead, the stories rely on a gentle, bucolic background to emphasize the awfulness of the otherworldly intrusions.
