About this Event

**** Lloyd Parry catches the sense of dread that gives James his originality

The Times

M R James’s ghost stories often involve the rediscovery of haunted objects. In these two lesser-known tales of terror such objects are to be found enclosed within the covers of books. Inside “The Diary of Mr Poyner” lurk ghastly, hairy memories. While in “Two Doctors” a lawyer’s papers, stuffed into an old ledger, tell of ‘The strangest case I ever met…’.

Robert Lloyd Parry returns to the Portico to tell these two chilling, baffling tales by the master of the English Ghost Story
