24th March is Abney Day: the date of the death of the evil protagonist of M R James's Lost Hearts - and, folk horror fans, Heffers has quite the evening lined up for you!

Lost Hearts was originally published in 1895 and televised by the BBC in 1973 as part of their much-loved strand, A Ghost Story for Christmas. We're delighted to present a performance of Lost Hearts with the wonderful Nunkie Theatre's Robert Lloyd Parry as M R James, followed by a talk from Edward Parnell, author of Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country, who will talk about his obsession with the tale, its background and its setting (the short story was his introduction to the work of M R James, who features as a key figure in Ghostland). As a very special treat, we will also be joined by Christopher Hammond, who played the razor-nailed ghost boy* in the classic BBC adaptation. Edward will interview him about his childhood experiences on the set of Lawrence Gordon Clark's terrifying film.
