For this week’s addition to the Campfire Classics Collection, we have decided to bring back the timeless pastime of telling scary stories around the Christmas holiday. For this particular episode, we are telling the tale of “Smee” from famed author, A.M. Burgess. Burgess is a British writer, born in Hillingdon, London, in 1889. He was noted in his time as an author of fiction for boys which he published under the pseudonym Frank Lelland, including a popular series called “Tufty”. After his death, however, Burrage became best known for his ghost stories.

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week. 

This week’s episode includes descriptions/sound related the following sensitive content:
