The ancient custom of "sin-eating" endures in a remote Welsh farming  community. With a widow waiting to bury her husband and his father - the  sin-eater - sick,  it falls to young Ianto to perform the ritual. But has he the stomach for it?

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for  EnCrypted: The Classic Horror Podcast. "The Sins of the Fathers" by Christianna Brand (1964).
