The Screaming Skull by F. Marion Crawford is a chilling tale of guilt, retribution, and the supernatural. The story is narrated by a retired sea captain who lives alone in a remote house, haunted by the presence of a human skull that emits eerie, blood-curdling screams. The skull, he believes, belongs to a woman who was murdered under mysterious circumstances, and its unrelenting cries seem to accuse him of complicity in the crime. As the captain recounts the events leading up to his current torment, a sinister story of betrayal and guilt emerges. With its atmospheric tension and relentless sense of dread, *The Screaming Skull* is a masterful exploration of the power of a guilty conscience and the inescapable weight of justice from beyond the grave. Crawford creates an unforgettable tale of psychological and supernatural horror that lingers in the mind long after it ends.
