  • So this is my very first reading of a classic public domain horror story! I am going to be back soon with some more Reddit stories in the coming weeks but will be taking a but of a break from uploads whilst I train for a new job out of State!

    Wonderful narration. And wonderful choice -- Charles Dickens!
    Sheridan Le Fanu wrote some spooky stuff. The best -- _Uncle Silas_ would be too long for a book narration, but it sure gave me the creeps!

    A great story that I've not had the chance to read so this was a treat. As for other classic horror authors, maybe M R James. He's got quite the catalogue of spooky stories and I think they might be in the public domain. You have a fantastic voice and I look forward to more readings.

    A grim and horrific tale. Today, it may serve as a point of comparison between the victorian era and our own. For me, what puts the story over the top, is the doctor's extraordinary generosity.
