Episode 218: A Spirited Conversation with Jack Jewers

Jack and I discuss the author M.R. James, the writer of many of the original stories who would read these stories to his colleagues at Cambridge and Eton as Christmas entertainment. We talk about what makes these adaptations so engaging as well as discuss what ghost stories we’d like to see made. You can follow Jack on social media (Instagram: @jackjewers; Twitter for the time being: @jackjewers; and Mastedon @jackjewers ) and check out his website www.jackjewers.com for more about his writing and filmmaking. Jack's novel, The Lost Diary of Samuel Pepys, is available now where fine books are sold from Moonflower Publishing. Maybe ask your local bookseller to order it and support the little guy.
