Uncle Silas by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/uncle-silas-by-j-sheridan-le-fanu/

Uncle Silas is a Victorian Gothic mystery/thriller novel by the Anglo-Irish writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. It is notable as one of the earliest examples of the locked room mystery subgenre. It is not a novel of the supernatural (despite a few creepily ambiguous touches), but does show a strong interest in the occult and in the ideas of Swedenborg. (Summary by Wikipedia)

Hi, Daniel! I will MC this for you. Give me a moment to set all up.

Cool.

What do you think? Will it be too weird for an adult American guy reading a story told from the point-of-view of a teenage British chick written by an adult Irish male? Or can we call that "flavor"?

OK, you should be all set now. Let me know if you need anything else.
Happy recording!

Kristine.

I'll pronounce it "flavour", though.
