Excellent! I don't know any of Blackwood's stories, but if this is a typical example, I shall be looking for more. Many thanks for bringing this story to life. The outline of the tale is simple and straightforward - as is often the case - it is in the way in which it is presented (and in this case, narrated) that the interest lies. I rather think the victim would be ready for that holiday and change of scene, by the end.
Edward E. French’s Christmas Ghost Stories are my new tradition. To Mr. French: As Poe’s “Hop-Frog” is neither a ghost nor a Christmas story, might you consider narrating it after the season?
Edward French has a way of reading that reminds me of Vincent Price.
That is particular evident on his recording of "The Fly". If you haven't listened to that one, I'd recommend it.
Oh cool! My favorite Algernon Blackwood story 😊
I love anything by Blackwood. The Willows and The Wendigo are my favorites. Such a pleasure listening to your narrrations Edward!
One of my favourite stories, read superbly as usual - thank you!
Thanks, Denise. Cheers! E.E.F.

Blackwood's THE EMPTY HOUSE is here on the channel. The characters he's created in this story are very charming. E.E.F.
Please help me do this story’s plot diagram
I need the climax, rising action, falling action, resolution.
Thank you
