“Increasingly impressed with every episode.
I've enjoyed the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast since it began, but only recently discovered this survey of MR James's ghost stories which was inspired by HPLLP. I had never read one (Victorian era ghost stories? Dickens? Yawn), but gave it a try. James's humor and eye and ear for detail are wonderful, as is also the case with his two commentators here. Chad and Chris at HPLLP will always have a place in my heart (even on a paid subscription...), but Mike & Will are fullly as good. The more or lesss one hour format for what are usually very short stories gives them time not only to move through the entire story (with the help of some very good readers) but also to share a broad range of history, analysis and references to articles, movies and tv and radio shows based on the stories. Their interview at the end of the Martin's Close episode with the owner/chef of a pertinent tavern who shared some stories of ghosts he'd known was perfectly light yet creepy. There are only two problems: I have to wait too long between new episodes (but, ok, worth the wait), and James's corpus is too short ("Already half way?!?") When the stories run out, I hope they can find another topic and keep going.”Read full review »

“Hey, I know there are a lot of podcasts out there but when you find one that you immediately love - that’s rare. Admittedly I’ve only listened to the first two but so far I’m all thumbs up! Not only because of the topic but also because these guys have the balance right between fun banter and...”Read full review »
