Hypnogoria

Well dear friends, the Grim Reaper has been at it again! And so, Mr Jim calls you all to the fireside early for a quick bonus episode to pay tribute to the late great Peter Wyngarde who sadly passed away this week.

In an episode that didn't turn out so micro after all, Mr Jim Moon takes a look at the latest addition to Rebellion's treasury of British Comics range - Faceache Vol. 1 - The First 100 Scrunges, a glorious tome collecting the gleefully gruesome adventures of the boy with the bendable bonce as chronicled by the great Ken Reid.

A brand new episode for a new year and on the new hosts! Mr Jim Moon drops in for a quick catch-up to discussing what's coming in the year ahead on the show!

And now, the end is near… Yes, that's all folks! At least from GeekPlanet Online! But fear not, we are moving house as it were and will soon be on Libsyn! http://hypnogoria.libsyn.com/

We all know A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, and have enjoyed the eerie tales of MR James, but why is Christmas associated with the telling of ghostly tales? In this epic show, Mr Jim Moon rovers far and wide, through snowy cemeteries and Christmases Past, to trace the true history of the tradition of telling ghost stories upon a winter's night!

In the last of our ghost stories for Christmas, Mr Jim Moon presents an eerie tale from Victorian writer, painter and poet Hume Nisbet, a rather creepy story set on a cold dark Christmas Eve…

In this episode, Mr Jim Moon provides a hopefully illuminating commentary on the classic BBC TV adaptation of MR James's famous ghost story Oh Whistle and I'll Come To You My Lad. Directed by Dr Jonathan Miller, this short film version first screened in 1968 as part of the BBC art show Omnibus and would go one to inspire the creation of the BBC's classic annual series A Ghost Story for Christmas.

In the next of our ghost stories for Christmas, Mr Jim Moon reads one of MR James's most famous tales – the classic Oh Whistle and I'll Come To You My Lad

This week Mr Jim Moon wonders why in the name of Santa's beard did he think it was a good idea to do a commentary track for notorious Christmas schlock horror Jack Frost… However he has a cunning plan to get through it…

Well December is here once again, and as is traditional here at the Great Library of Dreams we are hosting a series of readings of ghost stories for Christmas. We begin this year's selection of festive chillers with a tale written by EG Swain, a good friend of the great MR James who was inspired to try his own hand at crafting ghostly tales. The result was a remarkable collection called the Stoneground Ghost Tales, which blended Jamesian frights with a touch of Wodehousian humour. In this story, the long suffering vicar of Stoneground, Mr Batchell, discovers something strange about one of the parish church's windows...
