Bram Stoker: What is not to love? Gates of I is to be commended for making Stoker's "other" works easily accessible. And "The Coming of Abel Behenna" is a fine tale indeed. Nice.
This is what I have been hoping to find. Powerful stories narrated by someone who understands that his purpose is NOT to show off how splendidly he can read but, rather, to be the invisible link between the creativity of the author and the receptivity of the listener. Well done! I also greatly appreciate that there is NO distracting and often annoying background music, especially at the end. Music is not needed to “set the mood” when the narrator has performed his task as fluently and flawlessly as is accomplished here. I have now listened to several of these narrations, and they are each in my opinion a worthy lesson in what all oral interpretation should be. Perhaps other narrators might take heed.
Bram left us with so many questions unanswered in this story - was Eric able to assuage his own guilt? Was Sara ever able to get over the death of Abel? What state did the finding of the corpse have on both of them going forward, and did it affect their marriage? The story tells us that Abel deposited the money in the bank under the name of Sara Behenna but, after marrying Eric and Abel dying, Sara would not be able to claim the money under either her married or maiden name! Maybe that was the point - after scheming for her daughter to access the fortunes of 2 men, Sara's mother was left knowing that Sara would have access to neither (maybe?). Although ne provided an effective climax, I do wish Bram would have given us more definitive answers to questions raised by the ending, but the narration cannot be faulted for that. x
Eric wouldn't stop pursuing/harassing Sara even after she chooses Abel involuntarily. And Abel wouldn't leave her alone even after his death. Even if Sara had chosen either of them on her own, the other would've continued to make her miserable. And yet it is Sara who is described as 'weak minded' and selfish. Talk about total misogyny.

What an exceptional writer Stoker was!
I could listen to Arthur read spreadsheets,
Thank you, this is so good !
The perfect narrator.
That was a treat. I’m a new subscriber. Thank you.
Lovely voice, with a touch of Cumberbatch, methinks.
Very well read! But after all those twists and turns, and knowing what was coming, what happened after that?
Nobody knows. This is the entire story. Bram Stoker never wrote any continuation.
That was sooooo good. 😊

😅ok snowflake
Does Mrs. Trafucis's proposal make sense? I don't understand why someone would do that.
