Prospero's Mirror
Oxford, 1935 M. R. James, Britain’s greatest writer of ghost stories, is summoned by the Warden of Old College to investigate the inscription on an ancient stone mirror. But he finds himself drawn into a dark maze of secrets, including one from his own guilty past. Oxford, 1665 At a time when established orthodoxies are being challenged by the new science, Warden Woodward of Old College has acquired the same mirror. He soon suspects conspiracy and witchcraft in a city besieged by plague. Assailed by devastating visions, caught between fears of an ancient curse and the World Wars of the future, two men from different centuries delve into a forgotten mystery and are forced to confront their own demons. But is self-reflection the most dangerous thing of all? And are there some words that can kill? “What is read cannot be unread...” Stella Rimington “Necromancy, witchcraft and gruesome goings on among the dreaming spires. This historically based, well researched and beautifully written blood chiller will have you looking over your shoulder for nameless horrors. Beware of the ending, particularly if you suffer from bad dreams.” Frances Cairncross “Alasdair Donaldson has written a splendidly spooky first novel, vividly combining the horrors of plague-ridden 17th century Oxford with mysterious goings on in the wintry city in the interwar years. His creepy description of the deserted cloister and turrets of ‘Old College’ over Christmas is guaranteed to ensure that no undergraduate stays behind in Oxford over the holidays.”

Oxford, 1935, and M. R. James, Britain's greatest writer of ghost stories, is summoned by the Warden of Old College to investigate the inscription on an ancient stone mirror. But he finds himself drawn into a dark maze of secrets, including one from his own guilty past.
The storyline flits between 1935 and 1665, and is a wonderfully atmospheric tale, using real historical characters and weaving witchcraft and horror within. The author evokes not only the beauty of Oxford in 1935, but he adds atmosphere to that beauty with some mist swirling, spine chilling moments.
The Oxford of 1665 with it's horrors of the plague is particularly well portrayed and adds even more to the fear factor. Much of this story is left to the reader's own imagination, and that (well, in my case certainly) can be even scarier than the written page. The suspense and chill factor built up at a good pace and kept me wanting to read more. The setting and historical periods were perfect for this subject. It was well written and I would certainly be happy to read further works from this author, and many thanks to him for my signed copy. *I have given an honest review in exchange*

A chilling, atmospheric historical horror tale that places the elderly master of the ghost story, M.R. James, in the middle of a supernatural mystery involving a cursed stone mirror that he could very well have written himself.
Highly recommended!

November 25, 2017If you can’t mimic the prose style of a Victorian scholar & headmaster, do not try to make M. R. James your narrator. I wanted to read this one but found the voice all wrong.

With Kindle's invention, the market's been flooded with much too much genre fiction and reading an unknown author is always taking a chance. This book was a pleasant surprise, it was well written, intelligent, competent and fairly well edited, with only minor mistakes here and there. Told in onion layers of journal entries, Donaldson uses real life figures and facts and then distorts them to create a spooky work of supernatural fiction, a meditation on the very nature of fear. Use of M R James as a protagonist was an original move. Particularly interesting is the series of afterwords setting straight historical records that the author's taken some liberties with in his book and also an essay comparing works of James and Poe, even providing a sample story from each. I've learned a fair amount about M. R James, whom I've been meaning to read. Seems like he's led a pretty unexciting life, but at least in Donaldson's fictional world he's been given an adventure. Recommended.

Donaldson writes an old-fashioned haunting tale involving the master of ghost stories himself, M. R. James. The Victorian imagery completely takes you back in time as James--in his role as a character--is trying to solve a mystery the likes of which he could have composed himself. I felt the dialect and atmosphere delightfully perfect for this setting. The inclusion of James and mentions of Poe really help frame this novel and set you up for an old-style ghostly story.

After reading 60% of this book, I decided to close it up. I tried to enjoy it, but it just was not for me. I found I did not care about any of the characters nor did I care about what was going on. When the story came round to the plague, I thought surely I could hang on just a bit longer, but after that it was all down hill. I'm not sure where the ghosts were and I don't care, really. When will I begin to trust myself and realize I simply do not care for ghost's stories.

I definitely recommend this book.
Overall, though, it is a mixed bag for me. A really mixed bag. I loved the first third so much I actually stopped reading to order another book by Donaldson (a collection of short stories.) But then I felt like the book was missing its last third and my love soured a bit.
Straight away I felt I was in good hands. Donaldson writes a convincing Monty James, repressed aging don, and convincingly evokes 1930s Oxford. (As an 80s kid from Boston, Massachusetts, I know from early 20th century Oxbridge—obviously.) This writer’s got chops and a promising premise, too: here is the lost, last diary of M. R. James which details his investigation into some weird happenings at Oxford. So I loved the prose, the setup, the buildup. I loved the references and Easter eggs to James lore. I loved the humor in James’ annoyance with women. I didn't love how every other section of the book is an excerpt of a diary of a 17th century don from the time of the Great Plague. I can't say these parts did overmuch for me. Besides make me miss the James sections. They weren't as engrossing. Well-written, but not as engaging as the mystery of the black mirror and the strange death of Chapman.
The ending—which inexcusably lacks a Jamesian wallop (or jolt), which to me was a wallop in itself—snuck up on me and so I'd really call this a novella, but padded. Padded with the excerpts from the other diary and (inexplicably) padded with the unnecessary reprinting of two of the world’s most oft-anthologized short stories, one by James and one by Poe. I was shocked. Not that the story ends on a cliffhanger, it doesn’t, but the way it's so too neatly wrapped up: I expected more. It would have made more sense for there to be some revelation with the reverend and his wife that truly brought the whole shebang to a bang.
I also expected the aftermath of WWI and the shadow of WWII to play a larger role. Good supernatural horror is powered by some kind of real world horror, whether Indian burial grounds, child abuse, murder, cults, etc, and Prospero's Mirror does have world war and pestilence locked and loaded but they remain just that because the supernatural horror never pulls the trigger. I guess the real world horror here is James’ guilt but I don’t really know if that guilt stems from encouraging students to fight for their country only to die horrible deaths and possibly for nothing as WWII seems imminent or from encouraging students to do something perverted with their favorite ghost storytelling teacher.
To take the former, we all know about the lengths grief-stricken parents went to in the quest to communicate with their dead sons, and I can see how being an older man who sent boys to war is another kind of tragedy fraught with psychological horror. All the more horrifying when it seems likely that all that suffering was for nought because of an upcoming reprise, as James’ colleague, a statesman, hints.
As for the pederasty or pedophilia, to put it mildly, I could have done without it. As a fan of James I have, perhaps naively, assumed he was merely a closeted man of his time. But Prospero’s Mirror indicates he was sexually interested in pre-pubescent boys and may have even physically abused some, yet then in a historical note the author writes that this is not the case, that James' relationship with these boys was platonic, after all, not Platonic. Is Donaldson winking and nudging the reader here? Did he uncover something in his research that indicates James was in fact a child molester but declined to explicitly say so? Call me bougie but these are things I don't want to read about, frankly, regardless. Maybe the book feels abbreviated because Donaldson stopped wanting to write about them, who knows. (James did teach young men and had friendships with older students, why not just go that route? It’s still grist for the guilt mill because even if he did have consensual relationships with non-minors he’d have taken advantage of his position as an authority figure.)
I suppose the author may have been reaching for ambiguity with much of this, including whether or not the supernatural stuff is even real, but if that’s the case his reach exceeded his grasp. No doubt there is a lot going on here but it never satisfyingly coalesces thematically or emotionally. Do the math and it adds up to a lot of unrealized potential, to say nothing of: Nazi occultism, the nature and danger of fear, a ghost called the Black Scholar supposedly based on real Oxford lore, what exactly happened with the young men, was the Invisible College just eccentric and ahead of its time and cutting-edge medicine looked like witchcraft, what was up with the Reverend’s wife, et cetera, et cetera.
I trust I'll like Donaldson's short fiction more. Prospero’s Mirror seems like a rushed product. There are typos and other signs of haste, too. I'm pretty bummed out, actually. Despite all of my bellyaching, I still recommend it as a novella and I give it four stars out of five. In the beginning I felt like I was reading something original but in the end it felt like a pastiche.

Prospero’s Mirror
The re-animation of a dead author into a work of fiction presents many challenges for any writer, not the least of which is overcoming the reader’s perception of the individual in question. Added to this the late author’s work will inevitably bear comparison with the current writer’s efforts. In ‘Prospero’s Mirror’ A. N. Donaldson boldly recruits one of the giants of the ghost story genre, M. R. James, at the end of his life (he died in 1936), as the narrator and principal protagonist of a dark supernatural tale. The story is set in an Oxford College and without giving too much of the plot away concerns a sinister Mirror, an old diabolical book and a desperate account of the plague from the seventeenth century.
When I first started to read the book, I had severe doubts as to whether Donaldson could carry off such an ambitious project (I expect my own prejudices were at play) but I am pleased to say that he succeeded. I have studied M. R. James for much of my adult life, so I was alert to the way in which Donaldson brought out many of the traits which appear in the original antiquarian stories. I recognised many of these and both chuckled to myself and congratulated the author when they appeared. We have come to realise too, that James himself possessed a number of distinct character lines, among them: repressed desire, devout Anglicism and innate conservatism, resistant to change. Such qualities making it all the more remarkable that he wrote the kind of fiction he did. I detected all these qualities in the Donaldson version of James. The pace of the narrative kept one interested throughout, and although the last pages are a kind of apologia for the story line, which some may find somewhat anticlimactic, to me it showed a good understanding of the subject matter at hand. The concluding section contains the complete text of James’s famous cautionary tale, ‘A Warning to the Curious’.
One small textual quibble page 271 contains a reference to James McBryde the illustrator of the first volume of James’s stories, ‘Ghost Stories of an Antiquary’, spelt with an ‘i’ instead of the correct ‘y’. Easily altered for subsequent editions.
So, in summary I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would certainly recommend it to all ghost story lovers. I hope A. N. Donaldson will produce more books in a similar vein.

Oxford, 1935
M. R. James, Britain's greatest writer of ghost stories, is summoned by the Warden of Old College to investigate the inscription on an ancient stone mirror. But he finds himself drawn into a dark maze of secrets, including one from his own guilty past.
Oxford, 1665
At a time when established orthodoxies are being challenged by the new science, Warden Woodward of Old College has acquired the same mirror. He soon suspects conspiracy and witchcraft in a city besieged by plague.
Assailed by devastating visions, caught between fears of an ancient curse and the World Wars of the future, two men from different centuries delve into a forgotten mystery and are forced to confront their own demons. But is self-reflection the most dangerous thing of all? And are there some words that can kill?
"What is read cannot be unread...
Love this description “If Umberto Eco and H.P. Lovecraft had a torrid affair, the love-child would probably end up looking a little like this book.”
This is rather discomforting little book evoking the Golden Age of the ghost story in all its glory and featuring a master in the genre M.R.James.
Beautifully written, this is almost a homage; authentic in style and language with a gripping page turning dual plot line. It delivers a truly creepy, chilling reading experience that will leave you feeling very uneasy as you close it after having read the final page… I wouldn't leave it on your bedside table if you want to sleep well

M R James, Occult Investigator. An engaging story spanning the centuries in which M R James is asked to investigate the provenance of an obsidian mirror at Oxford (what a comedown for a Cambridge man!).
It's an epistolary story but the various accounts all mesh very well. The description of the Plague Years is especially vivid.
Well worth a read and I'm going to give the author's other novel, 'Death Sentence', a go at some point.
Warning: the last 20% of this book is taken up by reprints of M R James and Edgar Alan Poe short stories. It's none the worse for that though as the story stands by itself.

For people who love the work of M R James, as I do, this is a very enjoyable read. Very much in the mold of an M R James story, and full of references to his work, some obvious and some less so, to keep us on our toes. I was a bit surprised that the cipher which appears in the book was not in fact cracked during the story, and was only revealed in the post-narrative section - i.e. it has nothing to do with the story in the end, so rather a lame red herring. I'm not sure this is very good for the reader, some of whom try to crack these ciphers thinking that they have something to do with the story. But all in all, a very enjoyable read.

It started off mediocre and went downhill fast. Learn from the masters like Phil Rickman or the late great Graham Joyce who know/knew how to write about the supernatural and can/could hold their readers in the palm of their hand. Adding short stories by Edgar Allan Poe is just, well, padding and that is just, well, cheating! 👎
October 19, 2023
A good ghost tale, though a little anticlimactic in the end. However, the setting is perfect for a good, spooky story.
June 26, 2025
Reading this confirmed that, in general, ghost stories are not for me but I’m giving the book three stars for the challenges the writer took on to create it.

An excellent Lockdown read
Overall I enjoyed reading Prospero’s Mirror. The object of the title featuring in two different time periods was interesting and intriguing.

(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
I just finished reading this book and I'm still not entirely sure what to make of it - which is part of the appeal, I suppose. It at least kept me reading, wanting to know what was going to happen next - even if I found the language a bit difficult to get my head around at times.
From another book I read recently, I had a passing knowledge of who Dee was - and I also have heard of Poe. Up until this book, however, I haven't heard of the other people in history. Still, despite that, it wasn't very difficult to understand the characters, even if I did find it difficult to relate to them at times. I appreciated the inclusion at the back of the book which had information about the real people the characters were based on.
In books that are supernatural-horror-based (and films as well), I do think that less is more - and I feel that came across really well in this book. A lot was left up to my imagination, which can often provide scarier images than anything the author might create.
The inclusion of the accounts of the Black Death added a further layer to the story, but by the end of the book, I still wasn't sure whether the events that happened were real or just in the characters' minds. I thought that came across really well. There was also an interesting decision that I wish had been explored further - to pass on those symbols. Something like that is a truly moral, difficult decision. (Like the videotape in Ringu/The Ring. Or the button in Drag Me to Hell).
Generally, I found the book to be really well-written and the different time periods were quite clearly distinguished between. The inclusion of the manuscripts wasn't quite as confusing as I would have expected. I did notice, however, that there were several instances where present tense was used in place of past.
I also liked the inclusion of two short stories at the back of the book. It was interesting to read old-style horror and the differences between the two types of writing were fairly clear. Although I do like modern-day horror, there is something interesting in old-style horror stories.

A fun concept but disappointing execution. I kept thinking I’d rather be reading an actual James story since James knew how to cut all the excess and trim something down to only the essential points. Also, the real James doesn’t feel the need to make a hacky misogynistic joke every single time a woman is mentioned in passing.
