SIGUEME EN IG: @eduardochanmEl fresno (The Ash Tree) es un relato de terror del escritor inglés M.R. James (1862-1936), publicado en la antología de 1904: Historias de fantasmas de un anticuario (Ghost Stories of an Antiquary).El fresno, uno de los mejores cuentos de terror de M.R. James, nos sitúa en Inglaterra, y relata la historia de una mujer, quien es descubierta mientras arranca algunas ramas de un viejo fresno. El dueño de la mansión donde está ubicado el árbol la denuncia, y la mujer es ejecutada. Tiempo después, una serie de hechos misteriosos comienzan a suceder en la mansión, de algún modo relacionados con el fresno, especie de lápida arbórea que custodia los restos de la mujer, y le permiten un vehículo para manifestarse en el plano real.En este sentido, El fresno ha sido alternativamente clasificado como un relato de brujas, un relato de vampirsmo, aunque desde aquí preferimos situarlo entre los grandes relatos botánicos de terror del período.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Here at Campfire Classics, the coming of the holiday season means only one thing.  A shift in the tone of our stories.  It's time to leave the mysteries and frivolities of the rest of the year behind and turn our minds back to that genre truly synonymous with Christmas...GHOST STORIES! Emily is back behind the mic, coming at us from Connecticut.  Ken has chosen a story for her from long time Campfire Classics favorite M.R. James.  The story is called "The Diary of Mr. Poynter", and though it is a slow burn to the spookiness, it definitely gets to that creeping horror we've come to expect from his writing. In the tradition of great episodes before, this one devolves into bouts of giddy laughter as Ken and Emily discuss Thanksgiving cuteness, perpetually wet spots, and a sexual goat auntie. "The Diary of Mr. Poynter" was first published in Ghost Stories of an Antiquary in 1904. Also, the 2022 calendar featuring co-host Ken in Halloween animal ears is now available on our website! Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

This week, lose your sanity while trying to write a travel book in Sweden.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! What is your favorite late December tradition?  Because this week, we've found a new one. Taking up the torch of a centuries old British tradition, we're reading a ghost story for the holidays.  Spooky author M.R. James returns to give us some tips on writing, and Heather takes a pass at his short "Lost Hearts."  Ken tries not to roast his chestnuts, we learn a lot about architecture, and jokes are funnier when you explain them, right? "Lost Hearts" was originally published in 1895. It was later collected in James' 1904 book Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. Craig Kellberg once again contributes his musical talents. Listen for his sick Hurdy-Gurdy shredding. So sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.

M R JamesThis is the third story we've done by M R James, previous ones being Whistle and I'll Come to You (https://player.captivate.fm/episode/a39d795e-df46-4123-a0bb-a12dec71069f). We talked about James the man there. In a nutshell, he was an academic who had jobs at Eton College and Cambridge University. The heroes of his stories tend to be dusty old academics like himself. He is considered the godfather of the English ghost story, credited for moving the genre from the Gothic to a more modern incarnation.  The MezzotintThe Mezzotint was published in 1904 as part of James's collection Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. The story is a simple one. An academic, Mr Williams, has a job of collecting prints of English country houses and such scenes for his University college. This is such a narrow and particular job it's a wonder to think that anyone had some a restricted role. He receives a catalogue from his dealer with a suggestion that he might like this particular mezzotint with a price tag of two guineas which seems exorbitant for such an amateur work. But as different people look at the mezzotint, it improves in quality and seems to be playing out a story. This leads to a detective investigation to find out where it is and the history of the place portrayed. So, there are two streams to the story: the rational detective work and the supernatural events unfolding in the picture which are quite demonic. James is famous for eschewing the cosy ghost story. He wanted his stories to be nasty. He has a real gift for introducing odd and jarring elements into his story which are disintinctly unnerving. There is something about the description of the figure, whose face is obscured apart from a domed forehead and some straggling hairs.And of course the theft of a child. Children coming to harm is always a nasty element. When the real-world investigation turns up the story of Francis having the poacher Gawdy hung and Gawdy promising revenge, it seems that the only explanation is that Gawdy returned after his death to exact his revenge. The other delightful aspect of the story is the series of in-jokes. James used to read his stories aloud to his colleagues, and so the in jokes about their obsession with golf and the snobby comments of the Sadducean Professor of Ophiology probably got some laughs. Some other features may not be familiar to the modern reader who has not been to Oxford of Cambridge, so the references to 'sporting' doors and 'skips' and 'Hall' are an insight into a world now gone outside these august establishments.

Hello everyone, It's Ben and Kyle. We are back after an extended rest over the holiday season. We pick up with Dickinson episode 2, and see what happens when Emily gets frisky. Expect magma and loaves of bread. There were some sound issues on this one, we apologise if Ben is a little quiet. But you can enjoy Kyle's phlegmatic voice all the more. We would love to hear from you, so do email us at edictsonedicks@gmail.com Emily's poem for today: I have never seen "Volcanoes"— But, when Travellers tell How those old – phlegmatic mountains Usually so still – Bear within – appalling Ordnance, Fire, and smoke, and gun, Taking Villages for breakfast, And appalling Men – If the stillness is Volcanic In the human face When upon a pain Titanic Features keep their place – If at length the smouldering anguish Will not overcome – And the palpitating Vineyard In the dust, be thrown? If some loving Antiquary, On Resumption Morn, Will not cry with joy "Pompeii"! To the Hills return! Also, our intro is the wonderful 'Afterlife' by Hailee Steinfeld, the star of the show.

My tasting notes from this episode can be found below:Spirit A - Antiquary Blended Scotch Whisky (46% ABV)AppearanceClarity: ClearIntensity: DeeColor: GoldSuggested texture: MediumNoseCondition: CleanIntensity: MediumAroma characteristics: Overripe sweet apples, grapes, vanilla, cinnamon, baked sugar crystals, fragrant, hints of toasted oakOther notes: Has an initial profile of a warm apple pie, and a vague hint of perfume at the back of that sweetness. The nose is quite dense and heavy. The sweet apple note turns a little bit sour after a while. Bourbon or brandy cask?ABV: ~46%PalateSweetness: DryTexture: Silky, warming, medium viscosityIntensity: MediumFlavor characteristics: Overripe sweet apples, grapes, fragrant, oak, hints of black tea, cereal/malt.Other notes: Palate carry the aromas nicely, good balance of the different characteristics, the cereal note could mean a younger spirit (10 years) although the balance of the body could also suggest a bit longer maturation (15+ perhaps).Finish: Medium with some complexity (apples and cereal/malt)ABV: ~50%ConclusionQuality level: OutstandingBlind guess: Single malt, first fill bourbon cask, 10 years oldSpirit B - Strathclyde 27 year old Single Grain Whisky Rare Auld Duncan Taylor (53.5%) (Fully matured in Sherry Cask)AppearanceClarity: ClearIntensity: Light > mediumColor: AmberSuggested texture: Medium > highNoseCondition: Clean Intensity: MediumAroma characteristics: Dates, baked apples, vanilla, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, molasses, marcipan, undefined smoke elementOther notes: A little bit more subdued on the characteristics than spirit A, but way more dense and dark on the overall profile. Wine or port cask?ABV: ~50%PalateSweetness: DryTexture: Silky, mouth filling, medium > high viscosityIntensity: PronouncedFlavor characteristics: Dates, raisins, brown sugar, molasses, roasted nuts, dried orange peelOther notes: Does not taste like a whisky, but it still smells like a single malt profile. Has more of a brandy profile, so could have some heavy cask influence like full maturation in a brandy cask. Could also be rum as I kept getting hints of molasses throughout, but feels more like a brandy profile on the palate.Finish: Medium to long and very complex (dates, orange peel, roasted nuts)ABV: ~50%ConclusionQuality level: OutstandingBlind guess: Single malt, full maturation in brandy cask, 10+ years.If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to reach out to me at any time on Instagram @spiritspeople

To celebrate All Hallow's Eve and the Month of the Holy Souls, Michael welcomes historian and author Tom McDonald.It can be hard to think of saints having any opinions on ghostly apparitions or haunting dreams. However, as Tom makes clear, saints from Augustine to Thomas Aquinas shared their thoughts on the possibility of seeing spirits as well as their own experiences. Are they the souls of purgatory, angels, or devils? We'll discuss that as well as the new pop phenomenons surrounding Halloween.Other things we discuss in today's show:St. Gregory the Great's tales of spirits from Purgatory reaching out to the living for prayers.A purgatorial vision of the Wild Hunt.Why the modern world is fascinated by ghosts and what dangers this curiosity can pose.Prayers for the dead and why they are necessary.Resources we mentioned:Check out Weird Catholic to learn more about today's subject.

M. R. James has been hailed as the unrivalled maser of the classic ghost tale, and his powers are at their zenith in "The Mezzotint," a story that first appeared in his 1904 collection, Ghost Stories of an Antiquary. In it, James reimagines the Gothic trope of the haunted picture in a weird new light. The text, read here by co-host Phil Ford, serves as a springboard for Weird Studies episode 11, where we discuss the enduring power of the art object in the age of mechanical reproduction.
