  • Excellent series

    I found this via Classic Ghost Stories (Tony Walker’s other excellent podcast series). As with the ghost stories, there’s a good mix of tales, some from authors I know, others who are new to me. I like discussion / biography at the end. And I’m one of those who enjoys Tony’s ramblings and snippets of everyday life.
