Great reading! You’ve got the voice for the eldritch, charnel, and macabre. I don’t want anyone to murk me. But if I HAD to be smoked by someone who insisted on telling me their plan to smoke me beforehand, if it was your voice I’d be like, “OK. Respectable murder voice. Credit where it’s due.”
Great psychological insight but I have to admit, I almost chickened out of the end. I did steel myself to listen but, having nearly been drowned myself, it was hard going. Terrific narration! Thank you very much.
Searching to make sure that none of Jasper's videos have managed to escape me...not likely😊 Some I watch again after some time has elapsed. The Tarn happens to be such a video and I am in the mood to really detest Fenwick. Envy and insanity so strongly stand out. I guess vengeance is a watery dish served cold?!🤣🤣
New to your channel & what an absolute treat it is to have found you! Your tales & narrations are absolutely Brilliant! What a great time I'm having going through the many, many unknown audio delights I've not yet heard of yours. Thank You & subscribed immediately! You & Simon Stanhope are keeping from the mindnumbing of TV which I haven't watched in months & miss Not one bit.
Loved this, Jasper, for your mesmeric performance, and for the fraternal relationship this tale seems to bear to Pargiton & Harby (another favourite of mine).
Thank you, Keith. Yes, I can see the similarity to that story - it hadn't occurred to me before. I was actually thinking how similar it was to another story I did - "The Cone" by H.G.Wells, who was a friend of Hugh Walpole's. I was wondering whether it was a -direct steal- ...homage 😉
Interestingly, Walpole (who by all accounts was a very nice man-similar to the victim here) was perhaps using his suppressed rage over Somerset Maugham's rather shabby treatment of, and achievements over him back in the day, as inspiration for this story. Maugham WAS the greater writer, but not a pleasant man-so he reverses the roles here to great effect. Perhaps exorcising his literary demon's?
Yes, I absolutely agree. The overlap between what happens in the story and what I'd read about the spat between Maugham and Walpole seemed to point to this story being a bit of therapy. I do enjoy a literary spat They are by far the best kind! Elinor Mordaunt (I recorded her story "Luz") also got involved, wading in on Walpole's side.
@@2msvalkyrie529 Yes, you are correct. In the end, some of the best of him still survives. Not sure, in this ever-increasing visual world, much of the rest of him will. But it is certainly rewarding if found.
@@2msvalkyrie529 The sad fact is, Hugh was really a gentle soul, and so helpful to other writers. It was Maugham that could be a jealous and bitter man, though he was undoubtedly the 'greater' writer. Don't think their sexual persuasions had anything to do with it, and if it was, it was all on Maugham's side; Walpole was happy with his ex-Policeman for many years before he died.
Really good mix of excellent authors, glad you include Wells as so many seem to overlook him. So glad to have found your channel, you definitely lean towards the “scary” but that fun when done by these authors, will work my way through your varied & very interesting list of stories✊♥️
Even the water preferred Foster over Fenwick, Fenwick was a complete arse tbf.I'm sure we all know a person like Fenwick (without the murderous qualities hopefully)
@@EnCryptedHorror Honestly I think my phone is haunted, I’ve had strange messages come out of Siri, and at the same time felt presences! So either I am insane, or there is an afterlife, Or most probably both!
I know what you mean. Having read up on Walpole I think he might have been exorcising some demons with this story - either settling a score of his own or warning himself against such bitterness. He enjoyed commercial success but was slighted by his literary peers (Somerset Maugham, disappointingly, seems to have been quite unfair.)

Very good!
Good story. Excellent narration.
@@parapoliticos52 Thank you!
I really enjoy Hugh Walpole's stories and their dark (Very) view of human nature. And he really gets at something here about the envy of writers...
Good, isn't he? 👍
Creepiest. Story. Yet. One feels that you are living these rather than just reading them. Thank you.
Hey, thanks Jared! I'd like to say it wasn't easy getting into the mindset of a creator jealous of other people's success, but y'know... 😉😆
You did the thin, reedy, voice perfectly 😁
Didn't he just?I think I may have pushed Foster
One of my favorites⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ooh, lovely and spooky......I absolutely got the feel of the freezing cold water, was listening in bed and had to switch my leccy blanket on!! 👍💙💚💛💜
"Had to switch my leccy blanket on" 😄 Do you mind if I use that on my advertising material?
@@EnCryptedHorror Of course you can, I'd be very happy 😀

@@EnCryptedHorror haha me too lol
Great story and narration.
Hugh was quite good! I like his stories.
What a fitting ending!
Thanks!!
wonderfully read. terrific story. thanks jasper.
You're welcome! Thank you, Alison 😊

Thank you for a beautiful reading of this cruel and sad story!
Beautiful. And I certainly LIKE it. We must do all we can to encourage more wonderful art like this!

Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the stories. I must say I've rather given up on TV myself. It got "old" (as they say) 🙂
I am thoroughly enjoying hearing such marvelous prose. The atmospheric touches are perfect as well. Thank you.
Yes, very underrated writer, Hugh Walpole, in my opinion.
Oooo, I liked this. I DARE you to do that thin, reedy voice when you next have a disagreement with your wife....💀🕯️
Another fantastic rendition. Thanks for doing this!

Thanks Julie. Yes, must get back round to Wells at some point. Glad you're enjoying the stories so far 😊
TS: 16:00 this part is macabre humor...makes this story so vivid ...creepy creepy fantastic story
Liked again ! 💀🎱💀

Sooo much envy, jealousy, hatred, & self-righteous judgement; rather turned me off, but you did a lovely job making the narration nasty!
