  • The resident of a rundown boarding house becomes intrigued when a familiar face comes seeking a room. The man has returned from South America with a strange story and even stranger cargo. But will it be his undoing…?
    This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Black Stone Statue” by Mary Elizabeth Counselman (1937).

    NOTE: My recordings are intended to be an immersive experience featuring music and sound effects. If you don’t like these elements, there are plenty of narration channels that don’t have them and they’d love to hear from you. This is a hobby/side hustle. I’m an amateur at sound recording and production but I do my best to make something listenable. I do voices to differentiate between characters but I’m not a professional voice actor or narrator. Some of these stories are old and contain words and attitudes you might not like. They do not necessarily represent the views of…well…me. Sometimes a pet dog or cat will die. Horribly.

    Hello Cryptonites! In a change to the advertised programme I have uploaded "The Black Stone Statue". "The Next Heir" will be out at some point in the future. Hope you enjoy this story! CONTENT ADVICE: 🚢 Bloody loud noise.

    This is a great story. I really like it. You did a fantastic job on the narration. The sound in the background, as always, is awesome. The humming fits the story so well! The splash and sound of something sinking.....
    This story is a great example of how our conscience catches up with us eventually. The character telling the story has a chapter in "How To Be A Complete Bastard."
    The landlady is a real battleaxe.
    Your "NOTE" in the description of this story is awesome. It almost sounds like something I have said in the past! You bring entertainment in so many ways.
    We love what you do, and look forward to hearing many more works of art by you.
    Have a good evening, my friend.

      Thank you. Someone was asking about the old intro music the other day and I had to explain that not using it on each video is a bit of a safeguard. Sometimes "copyright free" music gets falsely claimed and if it happened all my videos containing it would be "demonetised" at once! Maybe I'll get round to writing my own theme music one day 😁

    Always DELIGHTFUL to hear from you, my friend! You're very good at presenting these stories, and I find your voice portrayals of the different characters to be quite a talent that sets you apart from others, who apperantlly consider a slow monotone to be the apex of dramatic performance.
    Thanks for all you do!
    P.S. --- your American accent is ALMOST flawless, and thoroughly believable. (the only giveaway is the use of idiom, which is so nit-pickish of me, that it's beneath notice!)
