This story by Doyle is not considered one of his best and the ending can be seen a mile off, but it's always been one of my favourites; and you did an excellent job of reading it. Many thanks!
There are so many good ghost/horror stories and so few good horror movie scripts. It’s a sad dichotomy which makes me all the more thankful for your excellent readings
I absolutely love this story. I have never heard it before. Fantastic narration, Tony! As many already commented, this feels like a Poe story. What can I say....I love the plot. Sometimes Karma kicks you in the rear! He he he. Berger is pretty awesome, and Kennedy is an insufferable and self-absorbed jerk. I really like the way this story goes. This story flows very well, and it is very crisp. The usage of words and pauses with punctuation are amazing. As I have said before, these folks really knew how to write! Thanks, Tony and Gavin! I will definitely listen to this one many times.
Throughly enjoyed it! And yes, some of these stories are done by multiple people like Ian, but i never mind listening more than once when the narration is this good.
Thank you so much, Tony! I love all you do here. And I 100% agree with you about Jasper. I listened to every story he recorded and I truly wish he'd come back!
Great reading once again, Tony. I think I’ve read all of his Sherlock Holmes mysteries but none of his other works. I really enjoyed it. I don’t think you need to worry about repeating the readings that others on RUclips have already done. Your voice and all you bring to the “story telling table” outweighs by far any other version out there, especially to your dedicated listeners!
Late again, but it's never too late to say thank you. So thanks Tony and thanks Gavin. I really appreciate your efforts and generosity. This is a new story to me, so 👍for your choice of literature. It did remind me of "A Cask of Amontillado". (predictabley a 'Take that you bounded!') Good stuff!
Great story and narration again thank you. I just stayed in a very quiet religious town called Little Walsingham - beautiful but also the strangest town I have ever been to and a perfect setting for one of your own stories
Truly engaginng, gripping, vivid, narration, Tony. Entertaining commentary. Also this time around. I still identify with Sara. Thanks so much, very enjoyable
I loved this story and the way you read it- and i suddenly had an Aha!!!! moment- I found the beautiful descriptions meant I could really see the lavishness of Kennedy’s apartment and sinister underground world with a growing idea of what was going to happen!
Guessed what was going to happen to Kennedy when it was revealed that the woman was engaged (at about 18 minutes). A reworking of Poe's A Cask of Amontillado without adding anything new. Well read though.
Took a few goes to get to end as your voice soothed me to sleep. I wonder if Jasper is ok, would be amazing if you two did collaborate! Fingers crossed. And thank you for this ❤
As Poe's Cask of Amontillado was written nearly 50 years before I'm sure A.C. Doyle built a more modern (at the time) setting, and in my opinion Poe lacks the same quality of character development.
What story is the You tried to into the locked drawer from? It’s driving me crazy. Lol. I keep getting flashes of a story about a young girl who lived with her mean mother and I thought it was from that but none of the ones on the list ring a bell . And I’ve listened to just about all of them. Anyone know? Thank you
I tried Googling that line once, because I was curious too. All the links led back to this podcast, so as far as I can tell, it’s probably an isolated line Tony had recorded specifically to establish atmosphere for his podcast. No story attached, sadly-I want to know what’s in that darn drawer! I suppose it’s also possible the line came from an old radio drama or film that made so little impression in the entertainment world that it’s been all but lost, and hasn’t been preserved or mentioned on the internet outside of Tony’s work, but honestly, that seems much less likely.
I have ALL the *Harry Potter* books & the DVDs ... though I'm not a super fan ... just a fan of the story & would I like to go to *Hogwarts* YES! As a teacher not a student🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄
Everyone knows Welsh is gibberish. Just like when you have little girls they make up a secrete language for their joy. The Welsh did that when they heard the Scotts.
Welsh is a beautiful lyrical language. Don't call it gibberish just because you don't understand it. You are exposing your own ignorance and rudeness. Everyone does NOT know that Welsh is gibberish. The Welsh are very proud of their language. For many Welsh people Welsh is their first language. They have to learn English as a second language. Tony, I'm sorry you agreed with this bigotry. By the way, I'm English, not Welsh!
The conventional refuge of small talk, for those who have no thoughts to express

I really loved this story. Very Poe-like! And you're right: Every reader has his/her own style. And I greatly appreciate yours. ❤
Shades of "The Cask of Amontillado"! I enjoyed this very much!

He may. I hope he does

Absolutely agree!👍🏼
This is my second listen. A few minutes in and i was suddenly convinced I know a person who might be capable of this.😮 Dangerous.
Excellent... Thank You!

(predictabley a 'Take that you bounded!')
Good stuff!
I have never heard more than 10 minutes of your sleep radio.
It works like a charm.
Ha ha. A great compliment.
Love the detailed description of this story, thank you Tony 💛💙💚
+lynda brennan welcome
Great story and narration again thank you. I just stayed in a very quiet religious town called Little Walsingham - beautiful but also the strangest town I have ever been to and a perfect setting for one of your own stories
Where the shrine is? I've never been. I'd like to go. It's near Great Snoring (I see)
It's a cold and rainy December evening, and this was a delightful after-dinner treat! What a terrific tale of terror, told (dare I say) masterfully 🥂
Great story, like others I thought of Poe. The real stuff of nightmares. Thanks 😊
A good one. A wonderfully dark sense of foreboding throughout. 💀
I have only heard and read Sherlock Holmes so this was an eye opener.Thank you for your explanation tony.
Truly engaginng, gripping, vivid, narration, Tony. Entertaining commentary. Also this time around. I still identify with Sara. Thanks so much, very enjoyable
Great narration. Have listened several times to this story.
Thank you for another magnificent reading Tony I listen day an nite you are my therapist God bless you,always Marguerite😊😊
I loved this story and the way you read it- and i suddenly had an Aha!!!! moment- I found the beautiful descriptions meant I could really see the lavishness of Kennedy’s apartment and sinister underground world with a growing idea of what was going to happen!
Absolutely mesmerising narration! 🎙️✨ Truly brought the story to life.
I love your stories at the end, thank you!

I like both *Hound of the Baskervilles & Valley of Fear* & really most of *Doyle*
Very cool story thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Wonderful stuff, thank you Tony
Loved this story. Sort of knew the twist from coming but still lovely
+Krystalynn Moore Glad you enjoyed it. I liked the setting in Rome, just made it a bit different
Robert Mckee's book is great. His chapter on the Principles of Antagonism is inspired.
Story, by Robert McKee
Beautifully narrated, well done! Keep up the good work. Most enjoyable! Great analysis. ❤
+FluffyDuck Thank you
Time is an illusion; lunchtime doubly so.
I think I can see where this is headed, but I want to see how Doyle gets there!
19:01 I am getting very strong Cask of Amontillado vibes...
For the love of God, Montressor.
I miss Jaspers work. What a talent.
I agree

*Jasper* is thinking of coming back ... he made a statement on his *community* page here if you want to check it out
Perhaps Mary is the main victim. Seduced and "ruined" by a cad, but even if she went back to Berger, she would be marrying a murderer.

LOOKS LIKE I GOT S.A.C.D SYNDROME TONY. .KEEP EM COMING OR I GO CONKERS 🎯

Creepy.
End of the story you're cutting off your socials I think mate, ends at axe
ah! Access. Should have been. I heard it.
A GERMAN DUDE EHH. I BET HE WAS WEARING A TANK TOP......NOT 2 B TRUSTED 😉

I’m sure that’s true but be careful not to air this view in Caernarfon
