Unpleasant Dreams

The Dead Valley - Unpleasant Dreams 76


Listen Later

Cassandra Harold is back on Unpleasant Dreams this week narrating the short story "The Dead Valley" by Ralph Adams Cram. Cram's reputation as a writer stems solely from six stories published in Black Spirits and White: A Book of Ghost Stories. "The Dead Valley" is his most well-known and frequently reprinted tale, which H.P. Lovecraft later praised for its masterful use of atmosphere and description to evoke a haunting sense of regional horror.


Content Warning: This story includes the death of a dog, which some listeners may find upsetting. Please listen with care.


"The Death Valley" was published in 1893 and is in the public domain.
