On Wednesday 1st  November, as close as we could get to Halloween, Simon Loxley will introduce us to his book, A Geography of Horror: the Ghost Stories of M. R. James and the Suffolk Landscape. M. R.

Some of his best stories use the landscape of Suffolk, a county he knew and loved, particularly its coastline.
