As a Christmas treat in the late 1960s and 70s the BBC produced adaptations of ghost stories based on the works of MR James the Cambridge academic and author of some of the most spine tingling tales in the English language which were broadcast to terrified viewers in the dead of winter. This was a tradition that was briefly revived by the BBC between 2007 and 2010. These adaptations which have a subtlety and style all of their own have been a major influence on many contemporary British horror...

A new volume collecting the story arc written by Paul Levitz (Legion of Super-Heroes), presented in JSA #82 – 87. The JSA has been targeted by the Gentleman Ghost and his undead army. How will they end a supernatural slaughter when the only being who can stop it is the ghost of Batman? Written by Paul Levitz, with art from Rags Morales, George Pérez, Jerry Ordway and others and featuring cover artwork from the great George Pérez. DC, paperback, 144 pages, published January 2007

I actually prefer this volume to the first, mainly because of the fantastically creepy 'A Warning To The Curious' which more than justifies giving this a listen on it's own. If I have any criticisms then they are those that can be levelled at all M.R. James material - repeated stories, styles and characters. That said, as an adaptation I cannot fault it.

This collection of short ghost stories includes some of the best-known classics in the genre, as well as some that may be new to ghost story fans. This title includes: "The Damned Thing" by Ambrose Bierce, "The Empty House" by Algernon Blackwood, "The Consequences" by Willa Cather, "How It Happened" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "A Ghost" by Guy De Maupassant, "The Shell of Sense" by Olivia Howard Dunbar, "Ligeia" by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Signal-Man" by Charles Dickens, "The Secret of the Growing Gold...

Ghost Stories - - Masterprint from AllPosters.co.uk

Tales about ghosts are as old as human culture itself but the ghost story as a distinguished literary form reached its apogee in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As traditional religions declined in the West during those years, people looked for new ways of describing the spiritual realities explained by religion. The ghost story is a literary expression of this need, its rise corresponding to the growing popularity of Spiritualism. Ghost stories balance the increasingly powerful...

Ghost Stories of Saskatchewan 3

Here is the place of story at the waning time of the year, all hallows eve. Once known as Samhain, when the dead would return with an empty chair waiting for their comfort. Here the fire burns and flickers and the stories tumble out and are told just as they were recited the first time two, three or four thousand years ago. This is the place of story where all shall meet with only the Thin Vale between Us.

Stylistically diverse – ranging from academic to journalistic, from critical interpretation to poetic speculation – the book charts the development of key critical approaches and cumulatively presents an unorthodox intellectual and aesthetic position.

After her brother gets beat up again, Satsuki and her friends decide the little crybaby needs to butch it up and join the relay team. (Hope he can outrun the ghost who likes to chop off runners’ feet.) But that’s just the beginning of the second semester of scares for this group. There are classroom ghosts beginning to show up with more frequency—and ever-increasing power. From Babarase who haunts children left alone at home, to an internet ghost who can’t wait for you to go on-line, it looks like...

Broadcast in the dying hours of Christmas Eve, A Ghost Story for Christmas was a much-loved fixture in the BBC’s seasonal schedule during the 1970s. Viewers awaited each sinister instalment with anticipation and its enduring appeal gave rise to a revival in the 2000s, when three more episodes were produced. This definitive collection finally brings all of the 'A Ghost Story for Christmas' episodes together, along with a number of essential extra features. Amongst the 12 films in...

I downloaded this last night, as the television was terrible (when isn't it?) and rather than watch something just for the sake of it, I thought I'd give it a go, who doesn't love a ghost story at Christmas. I've absolutely loved M R James since I was a teenager; Derek Jacobi's narration is superb(I could listen to him reading a telephone directory). The beauty of James is that it leaves so much to the imagination, nothing is ever explicit -something which Hollywood could take note of. Don't expect...

This title is selected and introduced by Ruth Rendell. M.R. James wrote his ghost stories to entertain friends on Christmas Eve, and they went on to both transform and modernise a genre. James harnesses the power of suggestion to move from a recognisable world to one that is indefinably strange, and then unforgettably terrifying. Sheets, pictures, carvings, a dolls house, a lonely beach, a branch tapping on a window - ordinary things take on more than a tinge of dread in the hands of the original...

Ghost Stories: v. 1 (BBC Audio)

When nearby construction disturbs a spiritual resting place, its disgruntled denizens do what any supernatural being would do after a rude awakening - they terrorize the local school. And that means it's up to a scruffy band of young ghost busters to expel their satanic schoolmates before everyone gets sent to permanent detention!

Swathed in mist and surrounded by the secretive sea, P.E.I. is the ideal setting for the strange and incredible, even the supernatural.

The priests have three or four Ki points (depending on the difficulty level of the game). They also get a Yin-Yang token they can spend in order to make two actions in a single turn.

The special powers available to the players allow to recover Tao tokens, move more than one square or move another player, to benefit from an extra Tao die, etc. They strengthen the required collaboration by giving each priest a specialty...

There's no connection between the five recent works on this superbly played disc, other than the British affiliations of all the composers involved - US-born Stephen Montague has surely been based here long enough now to qualify as part of the British new-music establishment. Three of the pieces involve electronics. In Michael Alcorn's The Old Woman of Beare, they provide one layer in an amalgam that also involves a narrator reading a ninth-century Irish poem. In Gavin Bryars' The Sinking of the...
