Sinopsis

The town of Mapleview has the reputation of paranormal activity and urban legends. The Trivelli House - one of the oldest, historical buildings in town - has been owned by the family for generations. And it, too, has its legend.
 
Mary, a member of the family, purchases the house from her aunt. She's determined to rid the property of any stigmatism or reputation, as it is the house she has wanted since she was a little girl. But a temporary guest of Mary's moves in with her, and soon disappears.
 
More disappearances follow, and even though the Mapleview police have their most experienced detectives on the case, they can provide no answers. Are the disappearances supernatural, and related to the dark, centuries-old history of Mapleview?

    His predecessor vanished without a trace - and he may be next. 
    Jeremy takes a job as keeper of a lighthouse reputed to be haunted. In the aftermath of trauma, he's seeking solitude and an escape, and the six-month stint at the lighthouse seems like an answer to prayers. After all, ghosts aren't real. 
    But his beliefs are put to the test when he begins to suspect he's not alone. The lighthouse loses power. Doors open and slam shut on their own. Objects disappear, only to reappear in different locations. Most eerie are the handprints staining the windows - windows fifty feet up in the air. 
    Isolated and trapped, he's on his own to survive attacks growing aggressive by the hour. Is Jeremy losing his mind, dealing with a stalker, or was he wrong to dismiss the rumors of a ghost on the premises? And whoever or whatever it is, will it let him live to tell about it?

    'Who is this who is coming?'
    Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad is one of M.R. James's most celebrated ghost stories, praised for its subtle horror, atmospheric tension and exploration of the clash between rationalism and the supernatural.
    
    A young college professor is exploring the ruins of a Knights Templar site on the East Anglian coast when he discovers an ancient bronze whistle that carries a mysterious Latin inscription. After blowing it, he begins to experience eerie phenomena - strange visions, unsettling dreams, and the sense that he is being followed by a spectral presence. The haunting intensifies, culminating in a terrifying encounter with a supernatural force which preys on fear – and causes him to question his previously confirmed beliefs about the paranormal.
    Oh, Whistle and I'll Come To You, My Lad helped reshape the ghost story by showing that the most chilling horrors are often the ones we can't fully see or understand.
    Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936) was a distinguished English medievalist scholar and academic, serving as Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and later Eton College. His ghost stories, widely regarded as the finest in the English language, have been widely influential on modern horror and many - including Oh, Whistle and I'll Come For You, My Lad,The Tractate Middoth, A View from a Hill and Casting the Runes (aka Night of the Demon) - have been adapted for the screen.

    A gentleman stumbles upon a curious old diary—an innocent discovery, or the key to something far more disturbing? In The Diary of Mr. Poynter, M. R. James once again conjures an atmosphere thick with dread, beauty, and the uncanny. This is a tale where the most ordinary object can become a gateway to forces beyond reason, and where curiosity may lead to quiet terror. With James's trademark subtlety and scholarly unease, the story whispers rather than screams—unsettling the soul long after the final word. Haunting, intricate, and elegantly unnerving.

    "The Scarlet Plague" by Jack London is a haunting dystopian novella first published in 1912. Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the story unfolds in the year 2073, sixty years after a devastating pandemic known as the Scarlet Plague wipes out most of humanity. Told through the perspective of an elderly survivor, James Howard Smith, the narrative recounts the collapse of civilization as he shares his memories with his grandsons, who struggle to comprehend the advanced world that once was. 
    With vivid imagery and profound social commentary, London explores themes of human fragility, the loss of knowledge, and the cyclical nature of history. This short yet powerful tale serves as a timeless reflection on the consequences of societal hubris and the enduring spirit of survival.
