    It takes a truly talented writer to make LITERAL BEDSHEET GHOSTS utterly terrifying.

      Watch the Arena/ BBC rendition of this tale with Holden in lead role. Incredibly horrific!

    Some of James's power is the Victorian fear of the ancient fathers

    Old-school archeology more or less centered around scraping everything with the same knife, and maybe banging shit on a table

    A classic chiller that still gets to me; James was one of a kind.

    The BBC made an excellent film of this starring the late great Michael Hordern, and directed by Jonathan Miller of Beyond The Fringe fame. You can check it out right here on UA-cam

    Been wanting to get into M.R. James, and as much as I love reading, I find I prefer listening to short horror; this was a great presentation.
    And I certainly didn't expect the "Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Film" joke in the prologue!

    An amusing, alarming, visual and haunting story. Is it your intention to read all his ghost-stories ? The Colonel is very amusing.

  • @stephensinclair3771
    @stephensinclair3771 4 роки тому

    Love this....lots going on here, but james would have thought it not cricket to talk about that in anything but Latin. Poor old Templars, killed for being bad catholics, condemned by the major for being Catholics. Umberto Eco has written lots about this lol.

    Awesome story and narration.
    Any guy that blows a whistle in a house in the middle of the night is awesome!
    This is a great story!
    Thanks!

    I haven't listened yet (I know it'll be good anyway) but I recognised this story because they referenced this in Alien Covenant. Not a great movie but such a good villain.

  • @stephensinclair3771
    @stephensinclair3771 4 роки тому

    Lots of hidden jokes. The daughting apostle, the daughting professor , the naughty catholic heretic warrior monks, the character who thinks they are too catholic lol

    Our dear Parkins tries to be sooo rational and ends up being overly skeptical.

    Have heard different versions of this story? Would like to know which version is the actual MR James one?In one version HES taken to an asylum first thing in the morning a gibbering wreck, never to be heard of again???
    Bit of a nerve changing such a famous writers work!!!

    I really enjoy M R James's stories but I believe that the narration would be even better if Benedict Cumberbatch did the reading. 🙂 🤔

    • @robertliberty3571
      @robertliberty3571 4 роки тому

      No disrespect to the current narrator, but I rather nod to Michael Horden and his readings of the '70s.
