The Watcher in the Tower a Tale of the Supernatural, after the Christmas Ghost Stories of M. R. James.

A cautionary tale of one man's ambition to prove himself in the eyes of his peers and crush a hated rival:
Dr. Julius Mann is known for his impeccable scholarship, his meticulous research and his academic intuition.
But can he achieve his ends, and will his precautions outwit the legacy of brother Markus, who died some two hundred years before?
Inspired by the Christmas Ghost Stories of the master of the genre, M. R. James, and written in his style, this story is dedicated to all who enjoy reading on a winter's evening, by the light of a candle,
' ... But chiefly when the wind blows high
in a night in February.'
