This week, the first season of “Reading Between The Lines”, our story podcast in association with the Oddfellows, comes to a close with a light-hearted ghost story.
As you might expect, “My Connemara Ghost” first published in 1910, and attributed to an author known only as J.E.M. is perfectly fine for the faint of heart.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to talk about, from the way the author expertly sets the scene and builds atmosphere, to the dangers of owning cats.
The story is probably the shortest we’ve read. But it manages to do a great deal of character building and scene setting in very few words.
