In M. R. James' klassischer Geistergeschichte „Kanonikus Alberics Sammlung" begibt sich ein englischer Gelehrter im Jahr 1883 in die abgelegene französische Stadt Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges. Dort entdeckt er in der Kathedrale ein mysteriöses Manuskript, das einst dem Kanonikus Alberic gehörte. Das Buch enthält eine verstörende Illustration von König Salomo und einem Dämon, die eine düstere Präsenz heraufbeschwört. Diese meisterhaft erzählte Geschichte verbindet subtilen Horror mit einer beklemmenden Atmosphäre und zieht den Hörer in ihren Bann.
