Mr Jones by Edith Wharton

[@blixten2928]

Those people who tell you they fall asleep to your stories: yes, it can seem mildly insulting, I really understand. But sometimes (it does happen to me) your beautiful voice, your lovely sentences, are the best things to hear as one drifts off... and then, the joy of waking up, and knowing that you've missed some of the story, and getting to start again from the beginning. I am appreciating your artistry more and more every day.

[@ClassicGhost]

Well that makes me feel better. I suppose when someone puts a lot of work into writing a story and then someone puts a lot of work into reading it, editing it, polishing it, doing the thumbnail and any videos they might feel (as I did) that someone falling asleep to it was like them turning the channel or leaving the cinema. But the way you put it, it feels that it's not that. It's like ushering them into a dreamland of monsters and nightmare. I suppose I didn't understand why someone would want to fall asleep to a disturbing horror story! Funnily enough, I found a massively subscribed channel with playlists called "Scary Stories to Relax To" Imagine! But the narrator's voice is so soothing and there is rain noise in the background so that the foreground of a terrifying story and frequent expletives and gory details is weirdly lulling. The human mind is a strange thing and endlessly fascinating. Thank you for your kind words and your kind intentions. I sincerely appreciate this comment.

[@blixten2928]

@@ClassicGhost Yes, oddly, the genre of horror - not the gory, bloody kind, which provide AWFUL sets of images for dreams - but the beautifully structured, atmospheric, deeper-dimensions-in-the-seeming-everday, is a very nice way to enter the world of sleep, Lafcadio Hearn (who wrote up Japanese quiet-horror, I'm sure you know him, 1800s) said that the only true inspiration for horror is dreams. His translations of Japanese "quiet horror" are full of footnotes detailing his own dreams...have you tried the three-volume collection of Japanese quiet horror, "Kaiki: Uncanny Tales from Japan"? To have you read one of these aloud.... now, that would be an amazing experience...Kurodahan Press. Gorgeous book covers, too, you'd appreciate that!

Oh yes! Your voice and recordings are lovely and I use them to fall asleep. And actually have used ghost stories to fall asleep for years before I came upon your channel and I keep coming back to it because it is really lovely. It's definitely a compliment coming from me. And as another poster said it's not that we don't listen to the whole thing, because we do it every night we listen over and over and eventually fully consume many stories. There are stories, mostly from librivox, that I've listen to dozens of times.

our elementary school in pittsburgh would take the class to classical performances at the Syria Mosque. i've always fully enjoyed most music, particularly orchestral music, as a child. the experience would embrace me with strange languor, almost like spending a winter's night under a mountain of comforters. i'd be embarrassed by falling asleep. i can't remember which teacher, all women of indeterminate age, told me that falling asleep was an indication of enjoyment. it would never occur to me to take it any other way. i always return to the recording when fully awake. (i googled the Syria Mosque only to find that it had been razed. in the building that was erected in its place, a single brick of the old mosque is displayed.)

This is the first sentence from her wikipedia bio - Edith Wharton was born Edith Newbold Jones on January 24, 1862 to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander at their brownstone at 14 West Twenty-third Street in New York City. I just wanted to point that out. She is not from Massachusetts. You can even check it out on google maps. It's in a very exclusive part of the city. I don't think it's still a house though but it is very impressive. 14 W 23rd Street, NYC.

[@timmaloey]

Hi, I've found some info on the connection between Edith Wharton and Massachusetts. It's true that Edith Wharton was born into New York's "upper class aristocracy" . She grew-up living between New York City and Rhode Island while she also spent much of her childhood in different countries in Europe. In 1902 Edith Wharton and Teddy, her husband, built and then lived in a country house called The Mount, which is located in Lennox, Massachusetts. Apparently Ms. Wharton described The Mount as "her first real home". The house is now a National Historic Landmark. I'm not from Massachusetts, but I would like to visit the state in fact I'd like to visit many states as I'm from Cymru. I've left a link about the house. Hwyl am nawr (Bye for now). www.edithwharton.org/discover/the-estate/

One wonders if Mr. Jones remained after his closely guarded secret was now exposed. Or why, even after his death, he felt compelled to keep the secret of his Masters dastardly behavior. Of course there is the question of Mr. Edwards own lack of morals that would allow him to be the enforcer of his Masters orders. Were this not a piece of fiction, I would hope that The Bells became a place of peace and harmony. I could not wish the same for Mr. Edwards.

Listening to all your videos, thank you so much. Edith Wharton's ghost stories have always irritated me, much more so even than the more poorly written sensational magazine stories so common throughout the Victorian age. This story, like her others, sounds very unfinished to me. The epical short story format requires a twist ending - in this story, that Mr. Jones is a ghost - but that's such an anticlimactic revelation, I think, that it's hardly a proper twist. The reader is way ahead of her for most of the story. Even the penny dreadful writers would reveal the ghost much sooner in the story (we already know anyway) and offered a different twist - perhaps, that Julianna had been secreted, behind the blocked up door, because of an affair with Jones, or some other dreadful secret. The mercenary marriage and spousal neglect is too much a staple of domestic fiction of the period, too prosaic, too absolutely ordinary, to make a good reveal. Although I teach Victorian fiction, I have never liked Wharton's work. I think she misjudges her reader. Thank you again for your awesome channel, not just great listening for fun but literally helping some of us with our research. 😊

@Classic Ghost Stories Podcast - Tony Walker Mr Walker, sir, for your information this reading has severe drop outs in your audio track which ruin the story because they occur so often... I'd reckon you ought to re-record it as who knows how many sentences are missing etc. It's really disappointing, and especially so, as this has been perhaps the best out of all of the stories not written by yourself that you have read in my own opinion and according to my own personal obviously subjective tastes. Just FYI, also this isn't the only story in which I've noticed it, I did also in one other, however, unfortunately I can't recall off the top of my head which other story [it was only one, thankfully], that was. Other than that you had some audio levels which would sometimes get quite low, and I probably only noticed that and the one time you read without being mic'd up, because I'm a prEditor, so I'm rather more likely to be quite fussy about such things which are probably trivialities to other people. Please don't take this as bitching, moaning, and whining, it's just a technicality though one that I found persistently enough occurring this one time alone, that I am even bothering to also add in passing mention, the aforementioned other, er, ''issues'', more so that you may avoid them in the future as advice than anything else. I seem to gather you get quite enough of the other kind of correspondence and hope for the world you wont take this little bit of professional detail in that vein at all at all, for you are providing a great service to the subscribers of your channel who are not among your patrons as I, and for that, you are greatly appreciated and your uploads looked forward to with great fondness by those of us with any sense, who would never debase ourselves by addressing you in peevish and pettily griping tones.
