Lawrence Gordon Clark directs this double bill of horror dramas adaptated by the BBC from two of M.R. James's classic ghost stories. In 'A Warning to the Curious' (1972) Mr Paxton (Peter Vaughan) travels to English seaside town Seaburg hoping to find the last of three Anglo Saxon crowns belonging to the Agers family whose last descendant has recently died. When he uncovers the crown, however, he finds himself haunted by a ghostly figure. In 'The Stalls of Barchester' (1971) Dr. Black (Clive Swift) is cataloguing the Barchester Cathedral Library when he comes across an old diary belonging to Archdeacon Haynes (Robert Hardy) who died mysteriously. Whilst reading the entries Black soon discovers that Haynes may have been cursed upon the death of his predecessor after which he was tormented by supernatural goings-on.

May the peace of God guard and keep you in the testimony of Jesus Christ. The book you have in your hands was written over the course of six years. Part of the reason that it took so much time to write is that I am disabled with bi-polar manic depression and hyper compulsive disorder. At the time of this writing I am still receiving counseling from my psychiatrist, Dr. Robert Roddy, who has worked with me for many years to help me become stabilized. I wrote this poem as an expression of gratitude for what the Lord has done for me and to give tribute to Christ for his passion. It is the love of Christ that has saved me from a life of extreme trail and struggle. I would like to thank you my pastor, Steve Gilman, for helping to shape the poem into what it is today. When I first wrote the poem it rhymed, but had no meter, so Pastor Gilman helped me to put it into the metered verse that you find in this final version. Finally, it is my hope that others with disabilities who read this may come away with a renewed sense of possibility. Christ has worked with me through my disability and gives me hope. My prayer is that you will come to know that hope for yourself.John KearneyJohn Kearney lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. He attends both First Baptist Church and Mercy Seat Lutheran Church.
