“The Body Snatcher,” a Halloween tale by Robert Louis Stevenson


Listen Later

Happy Halloween! As a special treat, I've decided to share Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher," published in 1884. Though perhaps this story is not quite true, it IS based upon the very real Ressurectionist industry that plagued Scotland during the Victorian era.

Music from Fesliyan Studios.
