I am a big fan of Ramsey's 'The Guide' but not sure if it would be considered a tad too long for this particular event. Naturally that's one of my favourites too, but I thought it might indeed be too long.

There is a video on Youtube of Ramsey reading 'The Guide' and it lasts just under 27 minutes.

This year's show is dedicated to a friend of mine, horror promoter and editor Richard Gladman, who was taken from us at the start of the year so I want to make the event a really strong one so thanks again.

Again thanks to all for the suggestions. And especially to Mr Campbell for offering one of his stories - I think we will open this year's show with MR James The Rose Garden (I always have a James story) followed by either Call First, The Guide or Again. Currently quite then between the three! That will take us up to the interval and then we will have another 2, yet to be decided. Thanks again and will keep you posted!

"Call First" does go down well at readings, I find. "The Guide" is more than twice as long.
Sorry - didn't see you had a list of possibles already! You're welcome to any!

I'd definitely go for Again. The audience will be in therapy for the rest of their lives!

So a quick update for everyone. The first three stories in our show will be Oh Whistle.... By M. R James, Wireless by Agatha Christie (her Estate has very kindly given us permission to perform the story free of charge) and Call First (thankyou Mr Campbell!) still to decide on the final story - if it is okay with Mr Campbell I would like to have two of his stories in the show?
Many thanks
Craig

"Call First" is a cracker... Very agreed. Craigee, do you record the readings, share videos on youtube or anything of the sort?

The night is actually more of a show, with a wrap around story (like the old Amicus movies) so it's hard to film. We might try to do some filming this year though the Christie story is only being given to us for the one live performance...

Hello all,
Just to update everyone, we are going to be telling Oh Whistle and I'll Come to You, Wireless by Agatha Christie and two stories by Ramsey Campbell - Call First and In the Bag. Out tickets went on sale two weeks ago and we have sold out! So we have already raised £540 for The Sussex Cancer Fund which is amazing. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and help and especially to Mr Campbell for supporting us.
For your interest our website is now up and running at ghoststoriesforchristmas.com
Thanks again
Craig
