Bonjour Monsieur L'Estrange 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I have no idea how I managed to miss this gem 💎. It was an excellent surprise to find a story that I had not heard. You and Mr. Stanhope are ruining television for me. THANK YOU 🕊️🕊️🕊️

What a fantastic story! Super narration as always! I like the common thread of these old stories, in which nefarious and insufferable characters end up paying the piper. The brother-in-law in this story is pretty cool. Thanks again for a fantastic narration. I love the background noise and music of your stories. Such things set a perfect tone for the stories. Thanks!

[@pressatocheryl5558]

I never comment on youtube videos but I have to here because this story knocked me straight on my ass. What an utterly horrifying concept! Thank you so much for introducing me to this author.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

You're welcome. You're right! It's a fantastic story 😊

[@mottsnave]

This one is particularly nice. I like how Peter's corruption grows.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

Yes, he's a proper rotter 😄

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

Very clever story telling that proves less is definitely more. Such an air of menace - and perfectly told. 10/10❤

Jasper you are THE man

[@jenford7078]

This is one of my favorite "you get what you give" horror stories.

[@briandouglasahern7067]

Remarkable! To think that these fantastic and terrifying tales were created long before the days of CGI and movies special effects. This incredible world came from the mind of an author the better part of century ago. Superbly brought to life through skilled narration. Bravo!

[@EnCryptedHorror]

I know! The inventiveness of some of these authors is amazing. This one's particularly good.

[@nsob8897]

That was an excellent weird story.

[@gwenowens6727]

Disturbing, unsettling and beautifully narrated. If Dorian Gray had had a lost keep instead of a picture maybe. I agree with other comments about the story making a great movie. Thanks Jasper.

[@cressidapotter6331]

Wow! Another fantastic tale. Thank you.

[@lparsons6977]

Wowww, what a story, it would make an amazing movie! I’ve been listening to you for a while, and I love your work. You do a very professional job...and nailed that diabolical chuckle.🤣🤣🤣

[@EnCryptedHorror]

I agree it would make a good movie. It's hard to believe some of these stories become so overlooked.

[@thehangingparsiple5692]

[@EnCryptedHorror]

[@evelanpatton]

I love this story. Reminds me a bit of the Twilight Zone episode- the couple locked in a miniature location, after a late night drinking party, own & PLAYED with by a a “disturbing” GIANT CHILD! Excellent. Did one inspire the other?

[@EnCryptedHorror]

That was a good one, that Twilight Zone episode.

Excellent story!!!

[@TheShadowfakx]

Consistently awesome narration and , by extension, naturally conveying the essence or sensibility the story’s author attempted. Thanks. I listen to 6 or so podcasts devoted to horror/supernatural Victorian oriented weirdness and EnCrypted is now numero uno on more than a few levels. Good eye for picking authors/stories.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve, so high praise indeed!

Well, this was an interesting one... I had hoped Lord Knifton would get a hold of the lens and leave that $@&%#± Peter to rot as he certainly deserved. Thanks for another great one.

[@DeloresLowndes]

That was a terrific tale and well read.

[@Arwcwb]

Jasper, your narrations are always great - but I am quite certain if your performance of the Sweeney Todd Demon Barber series had not been so masterful I would have listened for five minutes and checked out. That thing is a gem - for some reason I thought it would be average or bad - if the quality of your narrative hadn't kept me engaged I would never know the greatness of that story. Have you completed the entire series? I feel like some parts are missing or I just cannot find them.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

Thank you Arwcwb. I've so far recorded five episodes. I think I need two or three more to finish it. Your kind words are much appreciated, but for various reasons these episodes never get a lot of views and it kind of affected my motivation. I'm committed to finishing it (for the people that have followed it, and to rid myself of what feels like a millstone around my neck) but it's been difficult because I have limited time to devote to recording and mixing and I want to do things that perform well. So...more to come. But right now think of it as a mid-season hiatus... All the episodes will be added to this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL7JYpOrSDoCdkBGiEJDPiR_8CGglZfzSw

​@@EnCryptedHorrorWhen I followed the link, it said that there were 5 videos that were hidden. Are they for patrons?

[@EnCryptedHorror]

I unlisted them so that people don't listen and wonder why the story isn't finished. I stopped doing them because they got very low views.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

Hi Jeff, yes, a neat little story. Hope you're well!

[@stephensinclair3771]

Loved it. A bit reminiscent of the better "pan horror" stuff. Without the unnecessary "how's yer father" stuff. It even had the complete swine of a main character.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

Absolutely. I like to keep it an unnecessary-how's-yer-father-free zone here. And, yes, what a git that Peter Hunt was. Even worse than Henry Abbott in the last story.

[@stephensinclair3771]

@@EnCryptedHorror lol. Very wise. I do think Mr Hunt gets the prize.

[@stephensinclair3771]

@Frank McGovern lol 😆 Frank!! Thanks for the comment 👍. It is and old slang term for sex. As the series went on - and there were lots of them 25+ at least! They started to "go down that road". Probably trying to compete with the horror paperback boom in the late 70s early 80s. Thanks again for the comment Frank.

[@EnCryptedHorror]

@Frank McGovern Yes, I was going to say that from about volume 10 onwards the series veered towards titillation and shock value. Not that there's never a place for that 😉

[@EnCryptedHorror]

@Frank McGovern No worries, it's interesting. I like talking about horror! 😄
