A weekly podcast that reads out ghost stories, horror stories, and weird tales every week. Classic stories from the pens of the masters Occasionally, we feature living authors, but the majority are dead. Some perhaps are undead.
We go from cosy Edwardian ghost stories (E. F. Benson, Walter De La Mare) to Victorian supernatural mysteries (M. R. James, Elizabeth Gaskell, Bram Stoker, and Charles Dickens) to 20th-century Weird Tales (Robert Aickman, Fritz Lieber, Clark Ashton-Smith, and H. P. Lovecraft) and wander from the Gothic to the Odd, even to the Literary, and then back again.
Each episode is followed by Tony's take on the story, its author, its content and any literary considerations, which may be useful to students!

# Cushi - Teaser Script
In the chalk hills of Hertfordshire lies Rooksgate Green, where tradition runs deeper than any rector's authority. Here, the sexton Cushi Holloway has his own peculiar ways—with hymn numbers, with cats, with the rituals of the churchyard.
When the Reverend David Evans arrives from Cardiff, he sees only quaint village customs that need reforming. But some traditions have roots that go deeper than doctrine. And some authorities cannot be challenged.
The villagers watch in silence as their world changes. Cushi says nothing, yet something shifts in the parish—something the new rector cannot quite understand. In the churchyard where the sexton tends his domain, an older power stirs.
When the outside world intrudes upon Rooksgate Green, it will uncover more than anyone expected. Some things, once disturbed, refuse to rest quietly.
Christopher Woodforde was an Anglican clergyman, Dean of Wells, and scholar of medieval stained glass who told supernatural tales to choirboys at New College, Oxford. He died in 1962, his stories published posthumously.
