Episode 70 – Negotium Perambulans by E.F. Benson
This episode Mike and Will grab their guidebook, pack their bucket and spade and head off for a terrifying trip to sunny Cornwall in E.F. Benson’s ‘Negotium Perambulans’.
Big thanks to Richard Crowest of the ‘Ghost Stories of E.F. Benson’ podcast for giving us permission to use extracts from his reading of this story in the episode. You can find out more about Richard, including his E.F. Benson and ‘Short Stories by Saki’ podcasts, at www.corvidae.co.uk.
Show notes:
Wikipedia has a good summary of E.F. Benson’s life, including links to information on his fascinating family.
Brian Masters’ excellent biography of Benson is a must-read for those interested in learning more about Benson.
Negotium Perambulans originally appeared in Hutchinson’s magazine, and was later anthologised in this volume, along side such other Benson classics as ‘And the dead spake…’ and ‘The Horror Horn’.
This article contains some interesting insights into this story and its the influence it may have had on H.P. Lovecraft.
This illustration from Loneanimator does a great job of capturing the horrifying climax of this story.
