The Mezzotint - 2021 - 7/10
Annual ghost story is several notches above recent outings.
Eerie, rather creepy, yet faithful adaptation of the M. R. James classic story.
Williams, college art curator cum connoisseur, accepts a peculiar print on approval.
The print, of limited artistic value, shows a manor house at moonlight.
That was initially, until the image started altering.
Colleagues and neighbors are baffled, and it strikes a dissonant chord.
Excellent method of hints, suggestion, the half-glimpsed, to evoke unease.
Leading to worse.
