About This Book

A linked sequence of short tales draws on college settings and local legend to mix comic anecdote with uncanny suggestion, portraying hidden rooms, secret societies, odd bequests, lost treasures, and experiments in necromancy. The stories use campus topography and scholarly eccentricity as a backdrop for folkloric incidents and moral ironies, shifting between light satire and macabre atmosphere to reflect on tradition, memory, and the foibles of academic life.
