Jasper L' Estrange reads this classic 1932 tale written by Guy Preston and included in the Second Pan Book of Horror Stories.  The EnCrypted Classic Horror Podcast brings classic horror to life with  compelling narration, sound effects and music.

NOTE:

After uploading I noticed there's a small skip in the audio at 29:13 (after the word "star"). Nothing is missing; it just sounds a bit abrupt - the result either of a tech glitch or, more likely, my "pulpy fingers" like the landlord in this story. Apologies if it affects your listening experience.
