@hypnogoria Thanks for this — it was one of #MRJames tales adapted by the #BBC in 1972. I know what I'm watching tonight.

Walked along the coastal path today for 8 miles or so and found myself in this quaint Templar preceptory.
Bonus: I found an old whistle. I wonder what it sounds like…

Huh - what do I see in the corner of my eye - is it - an old volume...? No - a pretty recent one (2018): this #LiteraryStudies study by Patrick J. Murphy connects the dots between the #MedievalStudies of #MRJames & his classic "antiquarian" #ghoststories 👻

#Bookstodon: my review of 'A Warning to the Curious', a 1925 ghost story collection by #MRJames.

@helengrantsays Hi Helen. It’s nice to see you still on Mastodon, but if I could make one suggestion it would be to use hashtags liberally. That’s how it works here and it’s how you get traction. There are a lot of writers, reviewers & readers on Masto but they need to be able to find you, so just for starters I’d have added #MRJames #Bookstodon #Books #Horror to the post

👻 The telling of ghost stories late on Xmas Eve is a long-standing tradition. In the 1970s, the BBC produced classic adaptations of M.R. James supernatural tales - revived in recent years. Here is Speckled Band’s own horror story from the EP Screaming Skull 💀 Hope you enjoy it - and have a merry Christmas! 🎄www.speckled.band #ghosts #mrjames #supernatural #mrjames #xmas #xmaseve #horror #christmas #ghoststories #bbc #spooky #christmaseve

A Christmas present to myself, an M.R James figure made by the marvelous Hobbs Lane
Now to find a suitably spooky bookshelf for him to reside on.#mrjames #ghoststories #minifigure #handmade #horror #author #hobbslane

The BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas 1971-1978 are badly in need of restoration. Some of us love these old shows a lot and want to see them available for new generations of viewers.

Why don't they make programmes like this anymore?

I know the whole part of M.R. James' stories is that you shouldn't be messing things you don't know about and how easily the past can haunt the present, but really, the lesson of the day is that you should get out of academia and touch some grass... except you'll probably find a cursed whistle while touching that grass; damnit!

It was a bit sunny this morning so I wrote a portable M.R James RPG
Best to download to look at text I fear..

When I saw the announcement that Hobbs Lane Models were doing an “action figure” of M.R. James, I just couldn’t resist. And this is my kind of “action”, with Monty in a comfortable armchair reading aloud from one of his own collections of ghost stories. Supply your own flickering candlelight and pipe smoke . . .

I very much enjoyed listening to this last night. This is my favourite M.R James story, followed closely behind by the 'Mezzotint'. This retelling is very well done and has a wonderful, atmospheric soundscape via Bethan from Eerie Essex. Search your favourite podcast provider for 'Right in the Schoolies'.

It's that time again already...
The M. R. James ghost story Christmas countdown! 👻📖
There are 31 days until Santa arrives, which means if you read one* a day you'll finish the Collected Ghost Stories in time to get merry.
It's like a haunted advent calendar.

I find their discussion on what precisely is the #horror in MR James’ #stories very illuminating (and fun). They’re really onto something when they discuss #MRJames and the all male, cloistered and academic context of the stories as having strong repressed homosexuality vibes, veering into #incel territory, but I think of James more in terms of a-sexuality, of someone on the #acearo #spectrum (esp. I don’t read his ghosts as highly gendered, he even uses the term “indeterminate personage”.

A real treat for #Halloween! #backlisted #podcast is doing a free for all episode on #mrjames , godfather of the weird story. This will be fun and creepy! And if you never read a story by M.R. James, be prepared for some serious academic #horror. #bookstodon #sff #weirdfiction #weirdtales

There's no way I could tell the full story in one post here so head over to my Instagram for how in 2007 I guilelessly founded a pretty big Facebook group celebrating the ghost stories of #MRJames -- absolutely check him out if you haven't -- and how a lovely new badge for its members came to be. #horror #ghoststories #supernaturalliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxs0fB4r-T5/

#MovieNight was pretty fun… 1957 #NightOfTheDemon aka #CurseOfTheDemon - some good scares, neat effects and a great cat-wrestling scene… 😐 beware dudes with crazy beards slipping notes into yer stuff. #cinema #MRJames #CastingTheRunes
