The Classic Ghost Stories Podcast

Classic supernatural fiction, narrated and explored in depth. Frankenstein. Dracula. The Phantom of the Opera. Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stories by M.R. James, E.F. Benson, Edgar Allan Poe, Edith Wharton, Henry James, H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard.

Join my newsletter group for serious ghost‑story readers.

I’ll send you my thoughts on things like “The Ghost as a Grammatical Problem”, the real history of werewolf stories (and why the silver bullet is a fake tradition), Freud’s view of that doll in the corner, Jung’s take on Mr Hyde as the unredeemed shadow, and what I’m reading from writers like M. John Harrison, Ally Wilkes, Alan Moore, Tom Cox and many more.

You’ll also get snippets from my own supernatural history and the odd troubling anecdote from life on the wards and in haunted houses.

If you care about how ghost stories knot together with philosophy, psychology and the rest of our haunted culture, add your email and I’ll send you the next letter.
