When I am reading, my imagination lets me enter the book and get lost in it. Often when I'm reading a book I just can't put it down! I read every day and the author I most admire is Montague Rhodes James.

Montague Rhodes James (August 1, 1862 – June 12, 1936) Hе was born in 1862, in the south of England. He is best remembered for his ghost stories which are widely regarded as among the finest in English literature.

Dead Men’s Eyes This story is about Mr Fanshawer who hopes for a quiet holiday with his friend , Mr Richards. But strange things happen.

Mr Fanshawe goes to his friend, Henry Richards. Mr Fanshawe takes his friend’s binoculars to study the country. The binoculars had been made by Mr Baxter, who is now dead. Fanshawe is impressed by what is happening on Gallows Hill. His friend insists that he is wrong.

Fanshawe looks at Mr Baxter’s papers and goes on a cycling trip through the countryside. He goes into a church but the binoculars do not work inside. He tells Richards about his trip and Patten, the servant of the house, tells an old story about Mr Baxter.

Mr Baxter used to collect old things and never went to church. One day some men found a pot of boiling water with old bones in his shop. He made his binoculars. A neighbour saw him being pulled out into the street and a strange voice was heard. Then Mr Baxter was found dead between three stones on Gallows Hill.

Fanshawe drops the binoculars. A black liquid with a horrible smell comes out: it is the water from the pot. The ghosts of the dead men whose bones he cooked had killed Baxter. When somebody used the binoculars, he was looking through dead men’s eyes, but they did not work any more after the church.

Don’t miss theopportunity and read this thrilling and exciting story!
