M.R. James - Casting The Runes

I just love a good supernatural mystery and “Casting The Runes” by M.R. James certainly fits the bill.

The excellent Escape version from November 19, 1947 is better than the CBS Radio Mystery Theater’s version from March 4, 1974.  And there’s a version from a podcast called Suspense that is a modern retelling done in the spirit of the original OTR Suspense show! You can listen the the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and Escape shows directly via the players below.

The film adaptation is by far the best version though.
