  • A great spooky story for the late autumn. Wharton completed the story in February of 1937, just six months before her death. The video is just for background; you can just listen to the story.

    Nice choice of story. I grew up in Connecticut, which actually has a lot of spooky traditions, so I really related to it. With your good taste I look forward to more stories and hope you get more subscribers.

    Edith Wharton's stories seem to lend themselves to being read and listened to. Not a lot of confusing characters, and clear explanation of the plot events. Also rather interesting plots and well drawn characters.

    So much fun! It's like we are reading the story together for the first time. Such a terrifying story (I skipped the predictable "explanation" at the end -- one's imagination does so much more). For how to explain the radio in the kitchen? THANK YOU!!

      I thought it was SO much fun listening to the gentleman when he was a little less expert at reading. He has a very personable and likeable voice, and he obviously loves what he's doing. Also, note that "cuttlefish and chickweed" (the substitute !! for "good Connecticut mutton") is perfectly pronounced!

    great choice of stories but this was a very bumpy ride. I understand that a few halting lines here and there are a folksy touch and quite sweet but this narrator is up against some really great narrators at the moment.

      @@baileyclark8483 you might want to try looking up the definition of rude. Because there is nothing rude about my comment. If you give me your address I will send you a dictionary maybe your personal lexicon can increase. By the way that was sarcasm, you can look that up too.

      Gill Gallett: So, you are, I see, a rather nasty snot trying to wear the disguise of a simple, tactless airhead. Sorry to tell you that it just doesn't fit. No, not sorry at all.
      You put me in mind of a saying, here slightly altered: 'Those who CAN, do; those who CAN'T, make bitchy comments.' And that kind of behavior is supremely IRRITATING.
      Personally, I appreciate Paul's sophisticated and eclectic choice of Edith Wharton's "All Souls," not a tale I was familiar with, though I earned my Master's Degree in 19th century lit. And Paul reads with a lot of feeling, and emphasis in the proper places. An occasional misstep is not uncommon among readers with many years experience. It is by forging ahead through these missteps that 'voice performers' keep improving.
      k.k.
