It is stories, like the one above, that I see myself as a dedicated hermit, friendless, alone...but free baby, and that's something! Much love.

I pretended to be as dramatic as I could while listening to this in a bath tub

Wonderful! I have to thank HorrorBabble for introducing me to Blackwood's works.

A fine story with a little moral message in the twist at the end. And very nicely narrated too. Much appreciated.

Wow... interesting story. Thank you Jennifer. I didn't expect that kind of ending

Great story and narration, Jen. Thanks! I live Algernon Blackwood's works. This is a really good story with an interesting ending.

Very nice read. Cool story too. Sucks being broke and hungry in the city

Wholeness and balanced vibrations thanks for the upload

I am so glad he was dreaming! Phew, good stuff.

This was a particularly good story, well-thought-out.

I wrote a short story that has mythical Harpies in it I'm gonna submit to dr creepen, I'll let you know if he narrates it so you can give a listen if you like, thanks for responding to me

I love hearing your voice. And this is a great story. Looking forward to hearing you more.

You're right on with the haunted island. I also back to The Room in the Tower by EF Benson.Haunted Island I can put myself there and The room in tower terrifies me.

Fantastic story plus a great narration. I enjoyed the ending.

Great story. So glad it was just a dream! Haha. Congrats on hitting 100k! A fantastic milestone, keep em coming!

Always good to listen to you read Jen !!

I wish Jennifer would narrate more stories.

Well read. Excellent 👏👏👏

Love Algernon Blackwood

Great story!

Good ole Algie, got me fooled alright 👍

Your voice sounds like how silk feels.

What an interesting story by my favorite Algernon Blackwood! Blackwood is always great but this one is a bit different than most of the AB stories I know, perhaps it's just that it doesn't have a supernatural element in it. In any case, I enjoyed both the story and the narration very much. Thank you.

Wow..really good story

Nicely read Jennifer :)

Not for the faint-hearted. Thank you.

Thanks Jen, loved relaxing to this today as I veg at home poorly. 😘

Nice

I like her voice.

Stunningly suspenseful and eerie story. I did find it quite entertaining. However, I am lost as to what actually happens at the end, what the plot exactly was. Was it one huge and ghastly prank or a vivid nightmare that he was woken up from, at breakfast time? Any ideas anybody? What did. I miss? Seems like he was initially getting wickedly framed.

Framed for a crime, I mean, in a wicked way. And yes, maybe a nightmare related to hunger or brought on by hunger.

You are correct. He was being set up as the fall guy for a crime. He would be judged and probably convicted of serious crimes.

Awe man this one bummed me out.... oh wait. Never mind 😋
