About this episode

In this, the 41st Patreon bonus episode, with it being Christmas, we're starting a brand new annual tradition. I'll read you a ghost story first published in 1925, 100 years ago, in the London Mercury—a classic tale from the master himself, M.R. James. Christmas is a time for ghost stories, so allow me to share one with you. So, turn the lights down low, pour yourself a drink, make yourself comfortable, and let’s begin this year’s Christmas ghost story.
