The Room In The Tower, And Other Stories
By E. F. Benson
Length8h 47m
About this audiobook
Excerpt: "These stories have been written in the hopes of giving some pleasant qualms to their reader, so that, if by chance, anyone may be occupying in their perusal a leisure half-hour before he goes to bed when the night and the house are still, he may perhaps cast an occasional glance into the corners and dark places of the room where he sits, to make sure that nothing unusual lurks in the shadow. For this is the avowed object of ghost-stories and such tales as deal with the dim unseen forces which occasionally and perturbingly make themselves manifest. The author therefore fervently wishes his readers a few uncomfortable moments. Some of those tales have appeared before in various magazines; the remainder are new. One, the story of "The Man who went too Far," is the germ of what subsequently developed into a book called "The Angel of Pain.""
