How very kind of you, Scout Rifle. Thank you very much! The British Library publish a series of books called Tales of The Weird, and for Christmas I bought myself a 6 month subscription. I shall use your donation to buy some of the kindle books missing from my collection. I also have a BuyMeACoffee page www.buymeacoffee.com/missworm where you can see how I spend the donations, or you can choose which books to buy. Donations start at £1. (The fees are much lower, too!) Once again, many thanks, and thank you for choosing to spend your time with me. Happy New Year 🎇
i agree. have you a local radio station you could entertain on? that would be an awesome nightcap treat. our st. louis radio used to have radio dramas and story tellers. not anymore. its so planned out and ...snooze....snor.....sorry.
Thank you very much, dear friend 💕. That has taken me very close to my £60 payment threshold. I may actually receive some money soon! Keep watching those adverts - those 0.006 of a penny all add up 😂. Much appreciated.
Wotcha, CPP. Happy New Year 🥂💥. I hope you didn’t hear any tick-tick-ticking! Thank you for all your lovely comments in 2023. They really do encourage me and make it all worthwhile. 💜

I’ve had to postpone The Monkey’s Paw. I was about to upload it and one of the bigger ghost channels pipped me to it by posting a reading of it by Christopher Lee. One of the problems with being a tiddly channel ☹️. I don’t know how they get round copyright issues, but they put loads of recent stuff up. Good luck to them, but it’s hard to compete when they put up a dozen recordings a week read by the greats.
This one kept me on the edge of my seat. I will never look at my collection of turquoise scarabs the same. At least they aren't sapphires! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank You and Much Love ❤
If you ever get fed up with your collection of scarabs, feel free to post them over here 😉. Happy New Year, Jan. 💫May 2024 bring you much happiness 💫 Thank you for supporting my channel in 2023 with all your kind comments - it’s much appreciated.

How Splendid! As i listened to this story from A G Gray, i thought he must be a Victorian writer ( he was.. or at least this story was published mid 1800s) The Victorian writers had a certain style, I so admire & cant help a laugh when male writers of that era seem to describe their wives or females of their acquaintance as; Little.. everything about the description has the female as ..... The little woman, her little nose, Little white hand, little feet, sweet little laugh, her little Boots, her sweet little shell like ears. Id wager it was to make themselves appear more virile Strong & protective! They couldnt do that with a Big Bonnie Lass with a derriere like the backend of a Drey Horse 😆 Anyway! Marvellous story Reminded me abit of the book Called The Beetle Hunters by Sir Arthur Conan - Doyle Which is one of my favourites. Beetles do seem to a popular subject with Victorians & i rather like the content of such, espcially by the greats such as Conan - Doyle, M R James et al. I remember my eccentric Granny telling me about her social circle of friends in the 1920s & 30s Who arrived at Dinner or Cocktail Parties, fabulous dresses & furs etc & a fashionable trend was to wear these REAL LIVE Beetles Their carapaces decorated with an array of gems & jewels, pearls & coral. I was appalled 😨 but she laughed & said the Beetle Brooches looked divine & they were attached to the wearer by little ( here we go) Tiny chains on the Beetles legs & the chains fed onto a central nub which had the brooch fastening Underneath. My Grandmother also said she thought that the Beetles were stupified by some fumes before wearing, so they wouldnt take off, on the wander! Either that or they were some Somnambulent Insect from the Amazon jungle, or have i got that wrong? Well, Insects that are comatose in the evening esp with artificial light! What ever the rig- marole, its a true fact & these Evening Wear Gem studded Beetles were quite large! Some 3 or 4 or 5 inches long ( they were probably given a saucer of Napoleon Brandy before being hoisted onto the Sparkling dress of the lady 😆) Thank you Miss Worm! My jolly goodness! You do indeed Read a fine tale. Im predicting your subs will quadruple in 2024! There You Are! Believe It.. Thank you, thank you Felicitations & Blessings for the New Year, Miss Worm & all your fans too!

🎆Happy New Year, Itallia 🎆I so enjoy your marvellous comments - thank you for taking the time to write them. I remember reading about living beetle brooches a few years ago, and I knew the Egyptians (of course) had them, but I hadn’t realised they were going strong in the 20s. It’s a ghastly idea, but I’m rather taken with the thought of giving a wayward beetle a saucer of brandy. Can you imagine giant, sozzled beetles buzzing about at head height whilst the band played on? Or worse, sloshed beetles falling into a voluminous Edwardian bosom? Do you know….I think I *can* imagine it!

there seem to be many stories about a horrible beetle or beetles. i wonder if there was a belief that started this or a story and it influenced other writers.
At the time this was written Egyptomania was still in full swing. The strange gods, the mummies and the scarabs must have been an exciting influence on authors and artists. Interestingly, one of the first ‘mummy’s curse’ stories was written by Louisa May Alcott (Little Women) of all people!
Great story Miss Worm! Two summers ago I had an encounter with a 6 spotted metalic emerald green beetle on my deck. I hastily took a picture of it with cell phone before my cat ran up to it and meowed at it. That bug took off like a bat out of hades. Not flying...not jumping... but ran off as fast as it could. I do not know what frightened me more .. the brilliant color of it or how fast it went away. I contacted our local extention service and sent them my slightly blurred picture and description. They emailed me back stating it was a 6 spotted tiger beetle and they can run/travel 5.6 miles per hour. I thought we were being invaded by some unknown bug. God has made his own mysterious little creatures! Your blue beetle story brought that memory back.
I looked your beetle up- what a beauty! We don't got those over here. I did enjoy the wiki entry for your beetle as it said "largely harmless to humans", which I thought was wonderfully vague. I've been trying to entice Stag Beetles into our garden for a number of years, and last year we spotted a female. Hopefully she'll find a fella and come back.
Hello my lovely. Happy New Year 🥂. I, of course, am perfect every time. It’s the cats, the seagulls, neighbours, cars, lorries, motorbikes, car alarms and aeroplanes that muck it all up 😉. I live on a busy road in town so I have to keep stopping, which is quite frustrating. You’d be amazed at how many people have very loud, very personal telephone calls whilst they’re walking past my house! The older a book is, the harder it is to read aloud. Mainly because the sentences go on forever and don’t give one a chance to breathe! Sometimes I can whizz through a page or two in one go (a page is about 3 minutes of recorded time), and sometimes I turn into a complete cabbage and can’t string two words together. The Tell-Tale Heart was more or less one go, which was very pleasing. It’s much easier if it’s something I’ve written myself, because I’ve already heard it in my head. Editing takes ages, but I’m getting a bit more used to the software now. I might try and set up a little booth in the corner of the spare room if I ever get the time!
Well now, that is some very wicked Beetlejuice. Alchemy is not a game for amateurs. Thanks for these delicious stories Miss W. A very Happy and Healthy 2024 to you. Gary π

my goodness! I'm so glad that my hand has been stayed from the work of the Third Circulation... albeit by lack of money. the little alchemy of Vegetal Circulation is all that i ever undertook. did i ever mention my small menagerie of carnivorous plants? perhaps not...
Unfortunately, my own alchemical musings were curtailed by unsympathetic neighbours…all that sulphur… I might have to write a story about the Vegetable Stone. Have you read Isaac Newton & Natural Philosophy? It’s in my ‘must read’ list, but I haven’t got round to it yet.
Miss worm I have greatly been neglecting your readings me and Momma have been under the weather and I sustained a shoulder injury at work which I will be getting a mri this week I will be checking up ❤
Poor old you! What a rotten start to a new year. I hope it picks up for you both soon. I expect you know of this little bit of herbalism, but in case you don’t, here’s a wonderful treatment for frozen shoulders, dicky knees and painful boobs! Find the freshest, crinkliest, greenest savoy cabbage that you can. Place a leaf or two between the folds of a tea towel and then iron it. Whilst it’s still hot, place the ‘sandwich’ on the offending shoulder until it cools. Make sure you don’t burn yourself. It works a treat. A chemical that does the trick - can’t remember what - is released by the heat. Good luck with the MRI 🤞🏻 and thank you for spending time with me in 2023. P.s. Miss Worm is wonderful at most things, but is not a doctor 🦆 and takes no responsibility for any bits that might pack up, drop off or become irreparably useless.
