Ghost Stories for Christmas

Following the fine festive tradition of telling ghostly stories by the fireside, join Edwyrdian Tales for an evening of haunting dark delights set during Christmastide. Our night of seasonal spirits features terrors from some of the finest authors of their age… W. W. Jacobs, Algernon Blackwood and A. M. Burrage.

​

In “Jerry Bundler” patrons gather in a London tavern at Christmastime, swapping traditionally terrifying ghost stories only to discover the establishment itself is haunted… In “Smee” some festive parlour games are just the thing to raise some spirits. But it’s always wise to know how many people are hiding in the house before you start trying to seek them… And finally in “The Kit-Bag” packing for the Christmas holidays takes a turn for the worse as a young lawyer finds his recent gruesome trial comes back to haunt him…
