Hello everyone, thanks for contributions Am adjusting to 'new routine' after some lockdown easing here in the UK so thanks all for your patience! i should have some more time on Wednesday.
Very tempted to take a trip to Croglin Low Hall some time...
A couple of PL notes:
0.57 - I hear 'stuff' for 'stiffs'
1.27 - 'twenty-five' for 'fifty-five'
4.40 - 'county' for 'country'
Hunger and Last Trip both PL ok too
Fabulous (and very creepy) stuff! Genuinely pleased I listened to this in the middle of the day and not in the dark!Newgatenovelist wrote: ↑April 15th, 2021, 9:53 am Hello (in alphabetical order) Alix and Rapunzelina,
I have something to spook you! Rapunzelina, this fella needs to be added to the catalogue (I'll leave you in peace now!). Alix, this is taken from a longer work, it begins on page 203.

I'm not sure this is helpful, but the legend has its own wiki page:

Nice catch on county and country. He might have written either, but I want it the way he wrote it.
Thanks

Thank you so much, Alix! I'm glad you liked it. I was surprised at how horrifying the vampire managed to be in such a short story, but yes, I was wondering if I'd be able to visit the area at some point!
A tale of nautical horror for the collection!

Hi Arthur. I don't get this message, but the website doesn't work well for me either. The main page opens, but then the links in the menu on the right do not all lead to the corresponding pages. So yes, there is something wrong with the page... I hadn't noticed it before, so I don't know how long it's been a problem, but let's hope it's something temporary

I had a little debate in my head about County vs Country, and decided that Country meant they had tried much harder to identify the men, which felt especially important in the context of this story, so it was definitely worth flagging.
Thanks for the edits Dale!
