    CREATOR’S NOTE: My recordings contain a mixture of audio narration, sound effects, and music…because that’s what I like to make and listen to. If you don’t personally like it you’re in luck. There are simply dozens and dozens of narrators who don’t do this. I do voices to help differentiate between characters and sometimes I change the pitch of my voice for female characters or children. You might not like it, but whenever I don’t do this, I’ve had complaints from listeners saying they can’t differentiate between characters. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. I select stories that I like from my wide reading of vintage horror, supernatural and weird fiction. I don’t pretend that they are all masterpieces, but all, I believe, have something to recommend them. At least, I found something in them that resonated and which I thought was worth sharing.

    A strange and melancholy tale by John Metcalfe. Hope you enjoy it.

    This story is a masterpiece of loose ends and missing explanations.

      I thought at first that I wasn't following it. Some judicial re-listening convinced me the author didn't want to be followed.

    A very strange tale from Mr Metcalfe, a writer sadly forgotten by many. I work near Cavendish Square, and will totally avoid all ANCIENT taxis. Thank you, as ever.

    Ah Jasper,
    Just as the story does, you lead us into that other world with a tincture of Oldfieldesk spookiness.
    Thanks for the taxi ride into the grey.

    Great story and narration!
    This is excellent. Oh, this story is amazing. You find some great ones!
    If I discuss the story, I will be harried a "story ruiner," so I will keep guessing and thinking on my own.
    Great job, Jasper! Keep it up.

      *Harried*
      Great choice of almost forgotten wording!

    • @donaldmccleary9015
      @donaldmccleary9015 Месяц назад +4

      @Story-Voracious66 love that word. I should have said, "harried as a story ruiner." I love many of the words that were once, but no longer, commonly used. Some of the modern synonyms do not do it for me.
      I love old words like that! I also enjoy the usage of the word "grey" in the title. I am an American, but I am a bit of an Anglophile when it comes to word usage.

      I've always been fond of the old words myself.
      I also read Nevile Shute as a young girl, specifically because he used the word 'presently' a lot. I found sentences such as: "Presently, they came to a clearing" comforting, I don't know why.
      Yeees, I was a strange child.... ❤

      As an Australian Anglophile, I believe that we've all found an excellent aural niche to enjoy.

    I thought I wasn't listening properly. After re-listening to patches, I realized the author was engaging in a little deliberate obfuscation. When you are talking about slipping through the cracks of time, that may happen.

    • @EnCryptedHorror
      @EnCryptedHorror  Месяц назад +2

      Absolutely. I had to read and re-read a few times. Metcalfe's stories are often deeply strange.
