The Five Jars


Book Description

Verisimilitude of atmosphere combined with distinction of style are the outstanding features of Dr. James's writing, and those who appreciate "creepy" fiction with a literary tang to it will appreciate this worthy successor to " Ghost Stories of an Antiquary." "More Ghost Stories," "A Thin Ghost," and so forth. Its plot is original. The old gentleman who here relates his experiences is lucky enough to get into conversation with a brook of the "babbling" variety and discovers through its agency a magical herb whose properties enable him further to discover a mysterious box containing five jars of ointment, complete with hints as to use. It would be spoiling sport to reveal what happens when these discoveries are put to the test, but it may be said that good and evil fairies, owls, bats, and other beasties that go bump in the night all take a hand in the development of the story, which abounds in pleasing thrills that skirt the fringes of the horrible without actually crossing them.
