A podcast dedicated to the ghost stories of M.R. James, hosted by James enthusiasts Will Ross and Mike Taylor. Each episode deals with a particular James story, providing a commentary on its themes, interlaced with readings from the story itself. To add variety the podcast also features interviews with James experts and enthusiasts, reports from conferences and meetings, examinations of the landscapes of Norfolk and Suffolk, thoughts on some of the television adaptations of the stories, as well as diversions into the output of other writers of supernatural tales, including Charles Dickens and Saki.
In late 2016 Ross and Taylor, having completed their investigation into the oeuvre of James himself, announced that they would be delving into some of the ghost stories which inspired James’s own tales of the supernatural, beginning with Daniel Defoe’s ‘The Relation of the Apparition of Mrs Veal’.
