Hello! Here's another strange tale from the pen of Algernon Blackwood, this time a tale with a twist on vampirism from 1911 and first published in Country Life magazine. Imagine that. If you enjoy, please consider giving the video a LIKE, a SHARE, a nice COMMENT. If you really like, consider a SUBSCRIBE or a JOIN (as a channel member).
Just started. This is an amazing story. I look forward to your version. Only a minute in and it is already amazing! As always, the background noise and sounds are awesome. Thanks for narrating this story!
Blackwood (lovely name!) accurately and vividly describes the story that runs underneath, much like this patch of ground. Nothing is visible, yet there is decisive and violent action captured in every thought. Thank you for your spot on reading.
This is my favourite Uncle Algie story. Thanks for your subtle and perfectly balanced rendititon, Jasper. Your version here, let me grasp finally how very like "The Turn of the Screw", this story is. Love your work. "We lay, my love and I" "Beneath the weeping willow..."
Bravo, Jasper, it's one of my favourites.....i kept thinking of how deighted Algy must have been to hear you reading his story.......You really put your heart and soul into everything. Thank you so much ❤
Such a strange and eery tale, Sir Jasper. Beautifully written, and your narration was superb as ever; totally brought this story to life. Mr Frayn snr put me in mind of one of my brothers (highly doubtful he'll see this comment, but still I feel uneasy writing it!). My brother is a very commanding character, just as Mr F. He doesn't say much, and when he does it's to correct others in some way. He does it in such a quiet, reasonable sort of way that leaves his 'victim' apologetic and almost ashamed, even when what he said WAS actually correct. I once dared to point out an occasion my brother was wrong himself, but somehow ended up looking mean and foolish. One day however, my 15 year old nephew absolutely trashed my brother. It wasn't cleverly done, and I don't think my nephew even intended to do it, but it hit my brother like a punch between the eyes. I witnessed then the 'transfer', just as described in this VERY clever little story. 'Men grow old, and girls grow cold And we all lose our charms in the end' to quote Marilyn Monroe. ❤ Apologies if this comment is trash but I'm not editing it. 😂😂
I have met a few like Frain? a social vampire, they can fix themselves upon another and deploy a power leech ha ha...but get away from them! It was the middle 80s I think when somewhere in print, I read about such types.

Thank you for this wonderfully told tale of impending horror!! Felt like I was actually present in the scene!
Country Life? The wealthy man's Fate and Fortune, what what!
I dread to think what once lay between the pages of The Lady...🧐
*'the ugly patch where nothing grew'* my yard in the Heartland .... every summer
"the ugly patch where nothing grew". My mind... every day ❤
Wonderful story and as always, excellent narrating and sound effects! Always so atmospheric. Thank you good sir!! ❤
You're very welcome! 👍
It's quite amazing how a story of what could have been a stroke or even a mere sunstroke is made supernatural!
AB is wonderful. Hoping for a canoe trip down the danube, amorous dogs in camp, or the Great Cannibal God of the Northwoods at some future date.

Such a suggestive story, and a brilliant reading.

Thanks Jasper, I love Algernon Blackwood, the quality of his use of language is like a great piece of classical music.
@@joedge6142 Yes, I thought this was particularly well written. And cleverly constructed.
Oh yes, Mr L. Juicy with your subtly shaded narration. Thanks for the gift of your voice & talents.
