James vuelve al marco de la mansión maldita por hechos acaecidos en generaciones pasadas, en este caso relacionados con la caza de brujas en Inglaterra.

Mr. Anderson viaja a Viborg en busca de algunos documentos para su investigación sobre la historia de la Iglesia de Dinamarca. Llega a una casa hotel, “The Golden Lion”, y se hospeda en el cuarto 12. Conoce al señor Kristensen, el dueño y gerente, y al señor Jensen, un abogado hospedado en la habitación 14, junto a la suya. El primer día, Anderson ve que no hay registro de una habitación 13, lo que es costumbre en Dinamarca. En la noche, Anderson siente que su habitación es más pequeña que antes, y por un momento cree que es por la poca luz.

El señor Wraxall viaja a Suecia con motivo del libro de viajes que está escribiendo. Una de sus paradas es la mansión de De la Gardie, toda una antigüedad.

Kurz vor seinem zwölften Geburtstag zieht der zum Vollwaisen gewordene Stephen Elliott zu seinem Cousin Mr. Abney auf dessen Landsitz. Die Einladung von Mr. Abney hat freilich einen bestimmten Grund. Und zwei Punkte sind dabei für Stephen von Bedeutung. Erstens: der wahre Grund wird ihm anscheinend verschwiegen. Und zweitens: er hängt mit dem Verschwinden von zwei Kindern in seinem Alter und letztlich mit seinem eigenen Leben zusammen... aber so ganz scheinen die zwei Kinder doch nicht verschwunden zu sein - etwas von ihnen ist zurück geblieben auf Aswarby Hall.

This volume starts with the famous M. R. James story of occult revenge, "Casting the Runes", about a slighted occultist out for murderous revenge using his diabolical black arts to achieve it. It was adapted into the equally chilling movie Night of the Demon in 1957. Next up is another famous classic, W. W. Jacobs' "The Monkeys Paw", a brilliantly written tale of greed and getting what you wish for. The third story is "Hop-Frog" by Edgar Allan Poe - a classic yarn about the grisly revenge conjured up by a mistreated court jester.
