«Los cinco frascos» is the ghost novel by M.R. James, published by Editorial Berenice in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
A walker guided by the murmurs of a stream unearths a box with five jars of magical ointments. The ointments grant powers such as understanding owls and a cat, while friendly-looking creatures try to prevent him from reaching that world through spectral attacks like the ball of bats or the column of mist.
«Los cinco frascos» was published in 1922 as The Five Jars. The book belongs to the collection «Los libros de pan» and this edition includes the story «El campo de juegos después de anochecido».
Recommended for young adult and adult readers, especially those who enjoy fantasy literature and classic ghost stories.
Montague Rhodes James was an English medievalist scholar and author who served as provost of King's College, Cambridge (1905–1918), and of Eton College (1918–1936) as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge (1913–1915). James's scholarly work is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which are considered by many critics and authors as the finest in the English language and widely influential on modern horror.
