Midweek Horror: 'Monkeys' and 'The Dust Cloud'

A double bill of Edwardian horror by the prolific writer E.F. Benson.

In 'Monkeys', an innovative surgeon justifies vivisection by the good it does for humanity, and experiments on a monkey with spinal injury. Later on, accompanying a friend to Egypt, he sees a mummy of an individual who had undergone a similar operation, and with better results, living for many years after. His fascination leads him to make the biggest mistake of his life.

'The Dust Cloud' is unusual ghost story as, rather than any common-or-garden horrifying specter or phantom, but rather the tale of a tragic accident, and the appearance of a ghostly motor car.

Presented live online (or watch later), direct to your computer, phone or smart TV.

Ages: Adult and teens (12+)

"My friends and I saw Jason in Leamington last night and I was absolutely blown away. It was my first time at one of his events and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I can't recommend these events enough." Erika, Warwickshire

"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

How to watch live

I will be online 15 at least minutes before the start of the show to help, where possible (but can't help after the event has started).

You may need to download and install the app Zoom Client for Meetings to participate, so best to do that ahead of time (compatible with most computers and phones etc.): https://zoom.us/download
