- What makes a good ghost story?
Find out in this thrilling talk with the man who describes himself on social media as ‘actor, writer, strangler’ - Mark Gatiss.
The bond between Christmas and the spooky - perhaps most embodied by the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol - is the staple of many much-loved stories. In this talk, Mark will share his own and his favourite tales as he reads from ghost stories looking at the contrast between jollity and terror; the invitation of a spectre to the feast; the tracing of the anxiety within the festivity.
Mark has been writing ghoulish tales since his childhood, and is best known for his acting and writing credits on The Vesuvius Club, the BBC’s Sherlock and Dracula adaptations, and The League of Gentlemen.
I love Mark Gatiss's passion for the topic.
He has such a fun, naughty, cheeky but intelligent take on it.
He also seems like a charming man.
He's one of my "guests at an imaginary dinner party"

14:31---there was a story in the revived "Weird Tales" or "H.P.Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror" not sure which!) where a demon trips someone up with those "Terms and Conditions. Was either in the 90s or early 2000s I think.
The many ads during this (every few mins) ruined it. Couldn't they be put at the start?
Hi Cathy, yes we will do that. Thanks for the feedback.
