Preparing for the winter dance and unaware that her lover lies in his cold grave, the young woman answers a knock at the door, at the time the clergyman said he'd collect her. Riding behind her lover, to the dance, the young woman begins to notice how thin and cold the young man is. But, is there time for one last dance before the grave beckons again?
- The Necropolitan Line: A story, set in Victorian England, based on the old railway line that used to daily take hundreds of mourners and coffins from London to a vast countryside cemetery.
- Thorgunna’s Tale: A traditional Norse story: When a woman arrives in Iceland, only to die of a mysterious illness, following a rain of blood, her last wishes are not followed by her hosts and so she, and others who die soon after, return to haunt the farm
"Jason Buck is a man made of myth, magic and mead. His stories are filled with adventure, his beard is full of unexpected twists and his tankard filled with a poet's brew. Sit around the fire and listen to his tales - you won't be disappointed." Abbie, Strange Times Storytelling Club
"Jason, you really are a creepy b@st*rd", Nathan, Leicester
