  • While on holiday in the Swiss Alps, a man learns of a race of subhuman cave dwellers supposedly live on the Ungeheurehorn - The Horror-Horn. He dismisses these rumours as local superstition, but was he right to?
    This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Horror-Horn” by E. F. Benson (1922).

      I really loved that he wrote 'short brown teeth' instead of long ones. Brilliantly read as ever and a great story. Would be interesting to know what people were talking about at the time he wrote it re how the world was evolving socially. ❤️

    Have always liked this one. Think it's the perfect link between M R James (who's stories Benson actually listened to being read by Monty James at Christmas. At least on a few occasions) and Lovecraft.
    Also you've got to love a good 'these are the trolls of folklore/monster story.
    Brilliant reading by Jasper. Big thanks for it.😊

    • @EnCryptedHorror
      @EnCryptedHorror  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks Rohan. I know a lot of people dislike the music and sound effects, but I think they can be useful for atmosphere and just to create a nice "bed" for the narration track. Blame the fact that I grew up listening to storybook tapes and never really grew out of them! To be honest though, this one ended up being a bit effects-heavy. Glad you enjoyed it.
