"Green Tea; Mr. Justice Harbottle" comprises two unsettling tales that blend psychological dread with supernatural inquiry, framed through the observations of Dr. Martin Hesselius. In Green Tea, Hesselius investigates the case of Reverend Jennings, who is tormented by a spectral monkey whose presence grows increasingly oppressive and spiritually corrosive. Jennings’s struggle becomes a descent into fear and moral confusion as the creature’s influence tightens around his life. Mr. Justice Harbottle follows a brutal judge haunted by visions of a spectral tribunal that appears to punish him for his past misdeeds. Together, the stories explore how guilt, imagination, and unseen forces intertwine to expose the fragile boundary between sanity and the supernatural.
