Our apologies for running late with this episode, but we’re launching ourselves into the Halloween season with this adaptation of a classic M. R. James tale! In “The Ash Tree” from The Black Mass, a woman convicted of witchcraft lays a curses upon the man who accused her. Soon his home is beset by mysterious deaths that continue for generations. What malicious presence has taken up residence in the house? Does this blend of audio drama and storytelling succeed in bringing the tale to life? When did the thought of rats at the window become reassuring? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

I found this to be really boring. I liked the beginning, the witch trial had my interest but after that…SNORE
There appears to be no middle ground with this one. Either you think it’s literate and chilling or silly and soporific. I love it to pieces, but my slavish devotion to all things M.R. James makes my opinion less than impartial.
Did not enjoy this one at all . Slow and boring . Not worth the time to see why someone would like it.
Again, couldn’t get past the animal abuse. Just not something we can sit through and enjoy. Terrible episode. These kinds of episodes are turning us off of MORLS.
Really liked this episode though I love M.R. James. Genuinely creepy. Happy to hear your reference to Night/Curse Of The Demon, one of my favourites. The Blu Ray edition of this movie from Powerhouse/Indicator has the best collection of extras I’ve seen. Highly recommended.
