As dusk falls in Brompton cemetery the gatekeeper will guide you on a torchlit procession, picking your way through the tombstones until you reach the chapel. Find a pew by candlelight, fortify your spirits with a complimentary glass of Hendrick's gin and listen to SUZETTE FIELD read a selection of M.R. James's chilling tales of demons, curses and vengeance from beyond the grave. Sepulchral music will be provided by TROYLUS SEARLL at the piano. In the guttering light of the candles try not to think of the 35,000 cadavers who may be eavesdropping outside. Definitely not an experience for the faint of heart.
