MR James Blogging: Rupture-ready edition

Some say that the Riddled Amateur Dramatic Society should not accept sponsorship for product placement. Some people are asking to be pointed in the midriff by tigris with a sharp stick.

Here is the scene where Parkins is menaced by a congeries of support garments, animated by a hostile force.Yes, in M.R. James' original story the psychic entity chooses a bedsheet to take physical form, but this is not crucial to the plot, and cartoon adaptations have even substituted a handkerchief to economise on special effects and CGI.

Knock knock.
Hernia.
Claire, her knee, a thing of beauty.
