This week we tackle Lost Hearts by M.R. James, a spine-chilling tale featuring ghostly orphans! Talking rats! Diabolical alchemy! Gore! A shower scene! (sort of).

Also in this episode:

• Mike tweaks his hurgy gurdy around the house
• Will says ‘Dun Dun Duuunnn!’ more than is strictly necessary
• We both says ‘evocative’ more than is strictly necessary and then get really, really depressed

A big THANKS goes out to Kirsty Woodfield who brought a much-needed touch of class to the proceedings by doing an excellent job with the readings.

Show notes:

• Read Lost Hearts at thin-ghost.org
• Aswarby Hall on Google Maps
• St. Michan’s Church, Dublin
• Orpheus and the Orphic Poems
• The Worship of Mithras and Mystery Religions
• Neoplatonism
