Having bought a physical copy, I can highly recommend this

Has anyone else watched The Creep Tapes? It never reaches the heights of the two films, but is still worth a shufty, I think.

Happy New Year, folks, x

If you’re into classic horror and do not yet know of Mr Robert Lloyd Parry, you should. His performances of M R James stories (these are so much more than mere ‘readings’) are really something special. Seek him out!

That's the first edition of "Shadows and Gestures" sold out. If you missed out and are still interested in getting a copy I'll probably do a reprint - so if you could let me know of your interest by email in the comments, that'll help me work out how many to order.

Thanks to the tuners in to "The Mezzotint". That's MRJ done for the year. Happy Christmas!
