"Christmas Reunion" by Sir Andrew Caldecott | Classic ghost stories for Christmas | Audiobook

Mr and Mrs Dreyton become suspicious of their Christmas house guest, Clarence Love. When events take a dark turn, Mr Dreyton tries to unravel the mystery of Mr Love's Antipodean adventures.

This is an audio presentation (with music and sound effects) of "Christmas Reunion" by Sir Andrew Caldecott (1946) - part of this month's selection of Christmas ghost stories.

JASPER SAYS: "This amusing story is Caldecott's attempt at finishing one of M.R. James's story ideas from his essay 'Stories I Have Tried To Write'. A few months back I recorded my own attempt - check out 'Chance's Motto' if you haven't already."
