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.
