Count Magnus
BBC Radio Drama
von
M. R. James’s “Count Magnus” is a classic ghost story about a traveler whose curiosity leads him to investigate the history of a sinister Swedish nobleman. As he uncovers the count’s reputation and the unsettling events surrounding his tomb, scholarly interest gives way to mounting dread.
This BBC radio drama brings James’s tale to life through spoken performance and sound, building its unease from old records, local warnings, and the sense that a buried threat may not be safely confined to the past. The story’s measured investigation gradually tightens into supernatural horror.
Atmospheric and restrained rather than sensational, “Count Magnus” offers the pleasures of a traditional literary ghost story: an observant narrator, a chilling mystery, and a lingering feeling that some histories are dangerous to disturb.
