Episode 45 – Conference Report: MR James and the Modern Ghost Story

Listen Later

This week, Will and Mike don their academic tweeds, gather their notes and ascend to the podium to bring you their conference report on MR James and the Modern Ghost Story.  Join us for 45 minutes of (un)learned comment, digressions and wild speculation – plus more expert commentary from author Helen Grant (@helengrantsays), comics writer John Reppion (@johnreppion) and horror expert Prof Darryl Jones, as well as conference organisers Jane Mainley-Piddock (@jmainpidd) and Jim Mussell (@jimmussell).

Show notes:

  • If you didn’t go and want to see what you missed, here is the conference programme.
  • Desperate for more from JamesCon?  Take a look at Jane, Jim and fellow organiser  Dewi Evans’s (@wonderwelsh) live tweets from the event.
  • Here’s a cheesy photo of us with Helen, Jane and Darryl.  And another with John.  More of the same @mrjamespodcast.
  • We loved the Leeds Library (@theleedslibrary)
  • Finally – Chris’s amazing tattoo
