Welcome back to the Manor! It is time for our annual Ghost Stories for Christmas episode!  This year, we're focusing a fair bit on M.R. James and our favorites of his, but we do talk about other authors and even have a "tournament of authors."  Something which we also subject our guest to!  We want to welcome John M Knight to the show, an excellent author who has written stories in the Jamesian style with modern twists. So join us, as James and Jody discuss their usual things and then as James interviews John.  A plethora of Yuletide spooky Js, with the three of us along with Montague James!   Next week's episode is on the background of a Charlie Brown Christmas Get in touch with us at Podbean: https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-4pksr-a17e1a Or on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twinterrorsmacabremanormeadmetalmayhe/ Or on twitter: @Terrors_Manor On Instagram: @macabremanormeadmetalmayhem You can also find our podcast on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and I Heart Radio; pretty much wherever fine (and our) podcasts are aired.

Welcome to more spooky season goodness.  This year, at the beginning of October in fact, marks the 75th anniversary of Peanuts.  It's the 59th anniversary of the animated special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, but the 66th anniversary of the first mention of the Great Pumpkin from 1959! So to celebrate all those, and the fact that James just read this book, we're discussing the book "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the Making of a Television Classic" by Lee Mendelson (with remembrances by Bill Melendez).   We won't give it all away.  You should go buy the book.  But we do talk about a few neat things, regarding the making of the show, between this and other found interviews. So pour yourself a pint of pumpkin juice and enjoy with sincerity!
