A recently engaged woman is to meet her fiancé at his villa in the south of France. But will her misgivings about sleeping in the room in which  his former bride-to-be died prove unfounded...or does the Villa Désirée  hold a shocking secret?  

This is an audio presentation of "The Villa Désirée" by May Sinclair  (1921). It is narrated and produced by Jasper L'Estrange for the  EnCrypted Classic Horror Podcast.
