Archaeological historian Amara Thornton of the University of London, and Classical archaeologist Katy Soar from the University of Winchester have curated a selection of twelve outstanding short stories encompassing horror, ghosts, hauntings, and possession, all from archaeological excavation. From a Neolithic rite to Egyptian religion to Roman remains to medieval masonry to some uncanny ceramic tiles in a perfectly ordinary American sun lounge, the relics in these stories are, frankly, horrible.
Stories include:
The Ape, by E F Benson
Roman Remains, by Algernon Blackwood
Ho! The Merry Masons, by John Buchan
Through the Veil, by Arthur Conan Doyle
View From A Hill, M R James
Curse of the Stillborn, by Margery Lawrence
