'Perhaps you don't know how repulsive and loathsome is the ghost of a living man. The ghosts of the dead may be all right, but the ghost of mad Johnnie gave me the creeps.' So speaks the narrator of Muriel Spark's haunting tale, before going on to recount the haunting and mercilessly funny story of a certain madman - Johnnie Geddes, hell-bent on outlawing Christmas - who meets the most terrifying of all apparitions: his alter ego.
