Welcome to my narration of 'The House in Goblin Wood' by Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr), where engaging characters and enigmatic disappearances unfold in a captivating tale. Join Sir Henry Merrivale and a cast of vibrant characters as they navigate a secluded house filled with faeries and secrets waiting to be unraveled. Prepare to be drawn into a world where logic is challenged, and mysteries abound, keeping listeners enthralled until the chilling conclusion."

This story hovers between two genres: that of the supernatural goings on of the Ghost Story, and that of the locked room mystery beloved of (some) detective writers. I started it off as a ghost story and then realised it better fitted the Classic Detective Podcast.
