  Three Ravens Ghost Tales Book Launch | Live @ Much Ado Books

  Oct 4, 20261h 4mS666

  Recorded a week ago today and hosted by our favourite local independent bookshop Much Ado Books in Alfriston, we warmly present a live interview to celebrate the launch of our second book Three Ravens Ghost Tales . Much Ado Books is particularly special to us as we went to the shop on one of our first-ever dates, Eleanor buying Martin a beautiful Folio Society edition of the collected poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Though for this recording it was not the Ancient Mariner fixing us with his glittering eye but Much Ado's co-owner Nash Robbins! With Nash asking the questions, we discuss Three Ravens and the work that goes into professional podcasting, the legacy of M.R. James, our interests in magic and the supernatural, what goes into a good ghost story, and the approaches we take to writing and rewriting stories. With a Q&A session that follows, if this is the first episode of Three Ravens you ever hear then hopefully it serves as a good introduction, and if you're a longstanding member of the Conspiracy of Ravens then fingers crossed it offers new details and discussions of the inspirations behind some of the scariest stories we've ever written. If you are ever in Sussex, Much Ado Books is an award-winning independent bookshop in the medieval village of Alfriston. The shop offers a curated selection of new, second-hand, and antiquarian books spread across two floors, a shepherd's hut, and a cabin dedicated to arts and letters. Through their Prospero Project Nash and his wife Cate Olsen, originally from New England, donate books to and raise funds for local and international charities, schools, and care homes.

  Andrew Michael Hurley | Local Legends #78

  Oct 3, 20261h 27mS666

  For our opening installment of Three Ravens Haunting Season 2026 we're chatting with one of Britain's finest horror writers, Andrew Michael Hurley. Based in Lancashire in north west England, Andrew's debut novel The Loney was published almost exactly 12 years ago, becoming a best-seller, winning prizes, and securing Andrew a legion of readers extremely keen to know how he might possibly follow it up. His second book, Devil's Day , secured his reputation as an extraordinary talent, with his third, Starve Acre , also being brilliant, and adapted into an excellent major motion picture. Other wonderful, unsettling, folk-infused short stories and novels have followed, including, most recently, Saltwash . But what is Andrew like? Does he buy into the kinds of sinister magic he writes about? How does he feel about the 'folk horror' genre? Which writers inspire him, and, if pressed, what's his favourite ghost story? We dig into all that and much more, so gather in close around the campfire and settle in... Learn more about the BBC Short Story Award here . Learn more about Andrew's writing here.

  Haunting Season Returns! | October 2026 Update

  Oct 1, 20261h 38mS8

  On this month's update episode we have so much to talk about, as it's Three Ravens Haunting Season once again! Back for our fourth annual month-long celebration of original ghost stories and all things spooky a weird, we run down what's coming from us across October, including a brand new Spenser & Associates Mystery, our amazing guests for Local Legends this month (now including Joanne Harris!), we announce the winners of this year's Ghost Story Writing Competition, and also open up the Three Ravens Pumpkin Carving Competition! Before all that though, we grab our spades and dig into the loamy earth of Halloween folklore. Taking a different approach to our previous two special episodes on the subject, we dig into the specifics of how Christianity changed views and practices related to the shift from the Light Half to the Dark Half of the year. There's chat about ghosts, of course, but also the origin of the idea of "the veil being thin" around Hallowmas, divinatory customs for the season, and more. We also include some of our own news, chat about our upcoming spooky Live Shows surrounding the launch of our second book Three Ravens Ghost Tales which was literally published today , and share the opening chunks of September's two Three Ravens Patreon Exclusive episodes. First comes the opening 20 minutes of our exploration of Rowan Tree folklore for our ongoing series Nine Sacred Trees. This is then followed by the first part of our Film Club episode all about witch-tastic, Soviet-era folk fever dream Viy from 1967. Note: We have recorded a new Haunting Season theme song variation but haven't had time to quite finish it. Should be ready for Saturday!

  Wild Pathetic Legends | A Maryland Tale

  Sep 30, 20261h 9mS8

  Warning: this story is set in 1909 and portrays historic racist attitudes which in no way reflect our own views. It also makes mention of body-focused repetitive behaviours. For this week's story, we're getting into the dark origins of one of Maryland's most famous monsters. The Snallygaster is better known today for giving its name to an ice cream flavour, but it wasn't always so friendly. Eleanor's story follows a young wife who dreams of a monster, but her sceptical husband carries the idea too far... This episode marks the end of our first four colonies, ahead of a break for Haunting Season 2026!

  Maryland | Series 8 Episode 4

  Sep 28, 20261h 34mS8

  Get ready to stuff a ham, because this week we're off to Maryland! We begin with the inspiring life of Harriet Tubman, before discussing Maryland's beginnings as a province, sprinkled with plenty of arguments about religion and different ideas about how to run a colony. Maryland is packed with folklore, spooky stories and cryptids, and we're on a hunt to find as many as we can, from the enigmatic Dwayyo to the famous Snallygaster, and everything in between. Along the way, we encounter Goatman, Catman, and some creepy little characters Eleanor has become oddly fascinated by - the Egg People of Pokomoke Forest! It's a fabulous journey, all fuelled by a delicious state dinner where we're not afraid to fry almost everything, so join us in a Black-Eyed Susan cocktail or two and toast the Old Line State! We really hope you enjoy the episode, and we will speak to you again on Thursday with two releases - the October Update episode, and Eleanor's story for this week, inspired by the legend of Maryland bird-reptile chimera, the Snallygaster!
