Clive Barker’s ‘The Departed’ Joins Ghost Stories for Christmas
Channel: @Barkercast
Date: 2018-10-14

I know it’s a little early for a Christmas announcement with Halloween just around the corner, but when Clive Barker is involved it doesn’t matter what holiday it is.

At this year’s Brighton’s original Ghost Stories for Christmas- ‘Now We are Six’, Barker’s short story The Departed will be apart of the horrific tales to be theatrically performed that will also include stories by classic horror authors Joan Aiken and Ramsey Cambpell. The event will start on Thursday 20th – Saturday 22nd December 2018 and will take place at the Lantern Theatre. Tickets are only £10 which also includes a piece mince pie or a glass of mulled wine or juice. And the best part about the event is that all proceeds will be donated to the Brighton Alzheimer’s Society.

You can’t beat an evening of horror tales, mince pie, and wine. That’s the perfect evening I say. So for our listeners who live in the area make sure to go check it out.

[“The Departed” (also known as “Hermione and the Moon”) first appeared in the New York Times on the 30th of October, 1992, and one day later in the UK in The Guardian Weekend Magazine.  It has since appeared in Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Sixth Annual Collected in 1993 and Best New Horror, Volume 4. This is where I have it. These books are out of print, and collectors should jump at the change to get this edition if you missed out on this broody Halloween story of Clive’s before. ~Ryan Danhauser]
