For some reason , I just love to listen to your stories while cooking. ❤👩‍🍳

I can see your face the whole time you were reading the story were we not supposed to on this one?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Did you say 63 years old? What a youthful voice!

Here's a confession... I don't normally have an interest in ghost stories... It is only your narration that has me following them, & I am gradually working out which writers appeal to me, this seems to be one I like. So more to be grateful for you.

Great story! ❤

Some writers create characters that are awful pieces of work and it doesn't make sense for such pits of filth or misery to say "fiddlesticks" instead of something inordinately nasty or politically incorrect because this Warrick fellow certainly is quite a piece of work.

Infatuation being called love. I've been at nearly every angle of this bit of happenstance. It's just sad in the end no matter who's right in this case most likely they're all correct but it's such a shallow and fickle emotion that it doesn't matter. The only truth here is that it certainly wasn't worth dieing for. 😢

Only accept your frailty if you can't fix it, I say.

😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🌹💐💐😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩💐💐💐

You reminded me that at one time I believed I could influence something in the past by praying about it because I believed time meant nothing to God. Not sure I believe that anymore, though. Interesting thoughts. Thanks, Tony.

omg! I LOVE your rambles! you're hilarious. Thank you.

This is my first encounter with Le Fanu and liked it. I agree the original Alien film was a haunted house movie like 2001 A Space Odyssey is a reworking of the Frankenstein story.

I love classic literature more than anything, and you breathe such incredible life into this novel. I just discovered your channel and pounced on "The Picture of Dorian Gray." After this, I will proceed directly to "The Turn of the Screw." Thank you so, so much. You are brilliant, your narration exquisite.

Wonderful adaptation! Love Le Fanu. Highly recommend his story The Revenant. A gothic tale of ghostly vengeance. Cheers. 💫💀✨

Even further back is what I sort of believe is what their mind's eye was focusing on. How we use agriculture worries some of us. What we grow and then completely destroy during harvest means the plant's roots do not go deep or spread. The dust bowl was just one type of consequence. Are we also using so much fertilizer to make for such shallow roots? The Haber process isn't the friendliest thing for the atmosphere.

Thank you for telling us about your work days.Finished chemotherapy and still enjoying your tells.

If this story was written nowadays, he would have written I found the moth between my fingers and went right away to wash my hands with soap and hot water. Lol 😆

story is 55 mins

This is my all time favorite horror short story.

Bravo, what an exceptional listen that was... Tony you outdid yourself narrating this astounding & moving story.... It made me long for the lost language so rich & so emotive, that we no longer embrace or grace with our glib mouths... As a writer (poetry & song) I found myself lifted & tossed & swept like a leaf in a punishing & also soothing Autumn wind. It felt like a work of art to me & whilst the subject was not really the point for me (as you say "what is that about though?" The beauty of the language & depth of soul searching, meaning mining kept me enthralled - heh, a little intellectual "tripping" carried on your extremely worthy voicing. I do wonder if you underestimate your talent as a narrator... I am hoping that I will get back on my feet financially so I might be able to well reward you financially for your skill & generosity. I might add my perspective re the "widowed daughter", I think it adds another layer of understanding the character's wisdom & depth of understanding (having lost a partner, it rang so clear & true), I did love this... It really was like experiencing the story as a series of artworks (I am also a painter sculptor so another perspective).... Also as a Buddhist, please just ignore that troll guy, don't look into it... save your time soaking up the praise of we, who appreciate you .

Good on you - that's why I do weights when listening to your stories!

I used to belly dance professionally (Thurayya is my dance name) and I hate the way my physicality has gone downhill with age. I used to dance, I used to fly; now, I have trouble walking because of the arthritis in my hips and knees. It is very humbling.

I would not be able to spend one minute in a house that also had the evil twin of Thing in it 🖐 👀.

Tony, you're amazing. Have you any plans to read the King in Yellow?

Health is very important!!

Ah, the adventures of Thing Addams's fat British cousin! 😆 I would've been seriously tempted to lay mousetraps all around that house.

Another modern fairytale! Great story. 🐐🦢 Another archetypal story to beware of finding a “lusty lover” & loosing the best thing you ACTUALLY HAVE in your life.

I have heard this story before it reminds me of segment from the horror ranthology film Dr Terror's House of Horrors called "Disembodied Hand"

Great story, excellently narrated! Thank you, Tony! ❤ Yes, I like the sound of the pages turning, too! I enjoy your personal stories. You must have had a very interesting career as a nurse.

It is my understanding that Freud was at this time more prominent prior to Jung, who basically stated everything was based on your attraction/repulsion of your opposite parent reflected as a “tortured affair” one needs to dissolve in order to truly integrate as an individual. Jung broke from Freud by expanding on his theories pushing the sexualized ego identity into a dual spectrum- Anima/Animus, as opposed to Mother/Father obsession/compulsion motivation, in that each person has BOTH anima & animus BUT as through cultural conditioning & environment the biological sexual reproductive system you were born with tended then (and still somewhat now) to be most strongly integrated into one’s personality, Jung felt that discovery into the opposite components of the WHOLE SELF would be best achieved at looking: female<=>animus & male<=>anima; because that would be the “shadow” side that needed enlightenment for a person to be fully realized. One reason Jung abstracted the shadow out into a classified opposite was because he didn’t believe all one’s individual issues were issues solely based on one’s parents, for when that might be true within the early years of human growth development, limiting one’s ego/conscious/sub-conscious directly to one’s opposite parent based on pre-norm sexual ideas was regressive; Jung branches out with the SUPER-conscious as well, which implies he was looking forward towards a the ultimate INTEGRATION of the INDIVIDUAL, the SUBCONSCIOUS, & the SUPERCONSCIOUS- the last two which are less of the individual & more of a SPIRITUAL CONNECTION to HUMANITY AS A WHOLE. I think Jung was looking for a society of personally individuated individuals who would RAISE the WHOLE HUMAN EXPERIENCE into GREATER WELL-BEING. So, to bring this back to your question from a queer member of your audience, albeit not a gay male from the late 19th century, I do believe the author is playing within the UNIVERSAL ARCHETYPAL SYMBOLISMs to speak to the universal feeling of having your heart wrenched out from you & the deep sorrow that can emotionally code (weave) every relationship after that deep loss. The trick is to fully grieve the loss & learn to realize every relationship is a NEW JOURNEY. The more you integrate your ego identity with your subconscious, shadow side of YOUR experiential components, & those deeper SUPER-CONSCIOUS COLLECTIVE drivers the better your personal “computer” will be able to function. The goal being a highly functioning individual who doesn’t use old programming for their “cutting edge” [re: well integrated] self. This story is GREAT BECAUSE ANYONE CAN RELATE to the underlining issues. For some reason I thought you had asked for it, so I’ve obliged. I find MYTH/ARCHETYPES/Folktales FASCINATING!

I love your voice ❤

I thought the young woman became his first wife rather than his mother. Excellent narration

If I can perform a British accent but half as well as you do an American, I will consider myself a success as an actor. :)

Tony, when you start to ramble, I think to myself...'Oh, man, we're gonna get a true life story' and get even more interested. I'd love to sit, drink a few beers and b#lls#!+ with you someday!! Between your Mental Health Nursing stories and my 30 years as a firefighter/ EMS medical first responder, we'd keep each other talking for hours!! 😂

One of my favorite longer *M.R. James* stories is: *Mr. Humphrey's & His inheritance*

Easy way to open any jar: Poke a hole in the top & twist w/ the opener you are using. Be careful using a knife & turn it away from your body. This lets out the air & the lid just comes off in your hand. Reseal lid hole w/ duct tape

My Goodness, *Tony* your personal story reminds me of the *Shirley Jackson* tale *We Have Always Lived in the Castle*

Love this, Tony, also this time around, much appreciated and needed. More Le Fanu, please! Masterful, as always! Thank you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you. I enjoy your narration, and love your commentary afterwards, it makes me think of writers in a different way than I had. 😃🌺

Hawkwind, Wishbone, Tull. Magical stuff. "Argus" is such a masterpiece.

Hey Tony, that story you told about the family living in that old abbey and the father had dementia, it reminded me of the Shirley Jackson story We Have Always Live in the Castle, where the family lives in an old decaying castle and they seem to decay themselves into nothingness and obscurity.

Fabulous Can you create more Sleep House Stories?

Beautifully put: with a properly good Gothic ghost story, we ask a question that we don't answer. <3

Le Fanu is always a great standby for a goo short ghost story.

Fantastic story and narration. I heard something that sounded like tapping a couple of times when you talked about the hand. Not surre it that was on purpose; it definitely set the mood. Your story at the end about the old decrepit mansion was excellent. That is a story into itself. The images of the victorian house, ruins, and setting are amazing and a bit creepy. That was quite the adventure!😅 Thanks, and keep up the great work. I almost missed this one. I was waiting for your Friday story to drop and did not see it. I checked your page and saw UA-cam unsubscribed me...again!

I'm always finding these things in the locked drawer. It's never locked really. Is it....

My favorite Le Fanu story! Yes!!!
