The tradition of gathering together to tell ghost stories in the cold and dark of winter surely stretches back far further to when we first imagined: what lurks in the dark corners on the firelight? The Victorians, however, turned this parlour and party entertainment into an institution and expectation.

First published in 1891, Jerome K Jerome, perfectly parodies this spooky and popular amusement with these comic horror stories. A portmanteau of ghostly tales, told by an unreliable narrator and tied together with nonsense, noise and whiskey-punch... A Frosty Chiller or a Winter Warmer?

Storyteller Gav Cross brings this robust reading of a Victorian gem to life in his typically bombastic way.
