I enjoy these so. We don't often get to sit and tell our stories aloud to each other and it's becoming a lost experience. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

Thanks, Lyndsey. Some of the happiest times in my life were when I read to my kids before bedtime (and I don't believe I'm alone in that). I also love that M.R. James––arguably the greatest writer of classic ghost stories––wrote his stories to be read aloud to his students on Christmas Eve (by candlelight, no less), and that he had to be persuaded to publish them in print. And while I do enjoy reading my short stories aloud, there's something about these true "strange little stories" that feels more direct, more "off the cuff" (weird expression, right?) that suits this kind of telling. Glad you enjoyed it––thanks again.

It’s an entirely different experience to “see” the story through a voice.

Enjoyed your telling. The photos added flavor. The lighting and filming were atmospheric :)

Thank you, James! Very glad you enjoyed it. Just another one of those strange memories that stuck with me.
