[@missclimpson]

Big fan of E F Benson. Thanks.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Me too!

[@mlrich2]

I love these short stories by M.R. James and particularly E.F. Benson. Who knew the author of Mapp and Lucia could write such frightening, strange, and interesting supernatural thrillers. Wonderful reading of these stories Greg. :)

This is honestly amazing for car journeys. Thankyou.

[@davidwhite7294]

You,re voice is just right for this very sinister and brooding tale.

[@johnbryant8603]

Great Story, is prosaic and efficient. Creepy and hopeful, at once. Thank you so much 🎩🙏🏽❤️🌙

Here from Radio Mirchi Sunday Suspense 🥰🥰.. I heard the Bengali version of this horror thriller last week and now listening to its original version from you. Both versions are Engaging and flamboyant as usual. ☺😇☺😇

[@warehousepalmas]

A tale of the supernatural. Great reading.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

It's a great story for atmosphere, I reckon.

[@SC-jh9qp]

A marvellous story beautifully read! Thank you!

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Thanks for listening

[@nbeasley2]

Wonderful as usual. What I don't understand is why there is almost 12,000 views and only 178 likes. Deserves many more. Thank you for your quality audio books.

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

Good question! Perhaps people are so depressed at the end that they forget. It's a bit of downer, this story, as I recall.

[@wmnoffaith1]

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Yes, it is. But if there was ever a story that would convince someone to quit drinking, this is it; Benson really catches perfectly the contempt and aversion one ends up feeling for a drunken partner.

This even reminds me of The Turning of the Screw - who can tell with certainty what kind of woman his wife really was, and why?!? Brilliantly interpreted, Mr. Wagland, thanks again!

[@pilgrim....]

I love the way you don't judge the woman really I'm more like Eeehh Huge bloated head on a skinny wrinkled body with clawed hands like birds feet Oh No. A spade is a spade but it could've been made from a shovel : ) Thanks really enjoyed.

[@davidwhite7294]

Yes, very much his side of the story.

[@mijiyoon5575]

Horrific ...a good tale...THX

[@fastaxion229]

Great reading.😁

[@KeithDec25]

GREAT READING-AS USUAL...Benson pulled off a Poe like story and gets away with it....

[@billybees3796]

Benson was great at ghost stories, the one about the tower is frightening

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Yes. Excellent narration . Much better than the story deserves ! Benson was a plodding , unoriginal scribbler . Anyone who compares him to M R James or Le fanu is deluded .

[@davidwhite7294]

That,s just your opinion. The Mapp and Lucia stories are magnificent and place him a league above Mister James who,s stories are turgid rehashings of conventional ghost stories. Lost Hearts is the only one that has any oomph and it’s it is so strikingly different from his other works that myself and many others feel that someone else wrote it.. Try HR Wakefields grown up version of“Casting the Runes“ called“He Cometh and He Passeth by“ Casting the Runes is insipid by comparison.

[@davidwhite7294]

As regards Le Fanu he,s a one hit wonder. Carmilla was great but l find his other stories poorly written and his style clunky and turgid.

[@tinabaker4662]

How Benson must have hated women

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Yes ! It's verging on the pathological ! Fortunately his turgid , tedious , overblown writing " style ".....if that's the right word ?....means he's virtually forgotten today !

[@SemperFighting]

👍-111 and 👎-11 🤔

Spoiler alert Just kidding I haven’t listened yet

[@Boogie_the_cat]

I like your fake "read more" button. Fooled me

[@deegeraghty3421]

Extremely misogynistic tale. All he had to do was walk away and leave her !!

[@davidwhite7294]

He dedicated the story to his wife.!

[@h.calvert3165]

​@@davidwhite7294 He had no wife! He, all of his siblings, & their mother, were homosexual.
