Two Doctors (Fantasy and Horror Classics‪)‬

Two Doctors centers on the intense professional feud between two medical men who are both named in the bizarre will of an eccentric, wealthy patient. As the good-natured Dr. Audley attempts to settle the inheritance, he finds himself violently opposed by the sinister Dr. Quinn, whose relentless ambition is powered by dark, occult forces. The battle for the patient's legacy is moved from the consulting room to the supernatural realm, where ancient pacts and malignant presences are deployed to secure the final prize.

From the mind of M. R. James, the acknowledged master who redefined the ghost story for the 20th century and founded the 'antiquarian ghost story' genre, comes a rare tale where academic rivalry descends into black magic.

This story is a unique example of James' genius for combining creeping dread with themes of professional malice, making it essential reading for fans of classic ghost stories and supernatural fiction, and proving that some rivalries are settled in hell.
