This story is a nice return to the traditional vampire story, set in the early scientific era in Britain, when the era’s “neo-occultists,” who have more than just a passing fancy in “psychic phenomena,” know, apparently, just how to communicate with and receive needed action with, and receive action from, urbane Rectors-who would probably and just as well stick to recitations from The Book 📕 of Common Prayer, and be done with it! I was raised Episcopalian, so this story-and all the stories with the “remodel the church and let loose the monster-“ trope, are not all together unfamiliar, at least as to surface considerations from a non-British US American. I enjoy the authenticity that you bring to these old stories, and am delighted to have found your channel a few months ago. I listen to you narrate F. Marian Crawford’s “The Upper Berth” for many days as a regular item in my playlist. Thank You, Mr. Stanhope, for a unique and classic offering in the modern era. -TheFirefishe
I wonder if the phrase " your making enough noise to wake the dead", stems from the historical belief in vampires in Eastern Europe?, As ever a pleasure to listen to beautiful pronounciation of the English language in your narrations. Thank You for this chilling tale, even at fireside I felt a slight chill !!!!
'There is something strange about this', said the vicar. Really? 🤔 🤣 This is brilliant, thanks so much. Your narration is impeccable, Kindest Wishes to you, all you love and followers Worldwide Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🗺️ 🍀 🏴🕊️💐🥂
Fantastic gothic tale. It reminded me of the scene from 1979's Dracula when Van Helsing finds Mina in the tomb. I imagined her while I listened to the story. Thanks again Simon for another good one.😊 And btw I love the title pic too.
Thanks Shannon. Glad you enjoyed it. I should have said in the notes (I'll add it in) that the title card is a detail from 'The Vampire' by Philip Burne-Jones, from 1897 (the year 'Dracula' was published). It's apparently modelled by the famous Victorian/Edwardian actress Mrs Patrick Campbell, who originated many roles for George Bernard Shaw... she was the original Eliza Doolittle, for example. You may notice I've not included a portrait of the author on this title card, as I usually do... unfortunately I wasn't able to find one, at least not one verifiably him and in the public domain.
Another excellent reading. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is among my favourite fictional books alongside the lord of the rings and others and it’s diary style of storytelling I find particularly entertaining.
Best vampire story I have ever listened to. More descriptive and seemingly true as told. Narration was excellent with the shivering of fear and loathing in the voice. Awesome video all way round. Thank you once again for the on the edge of my seat telling of a very old tale. More please.
Thank you for an absolutely thrilling 40 minutes of amazing entertainment! So this is where the origin of the word familiar Comes from, a lot of movies and modern TV shows have humans that have animals that are part of them. It’s nice to know that this is not new! You have surpassed yourself yet again! 🌹
The Undead seems to be a recurring theme of late Victorian thriller. So much so that even when Stephen King decided to explore the domain he set his story inside this timeframe. Vacillating between the fear of the Rising Dead & being buried alive, the Victorians were an interesting lot.
I subscribe to a few horror channels, a scifi channel, and the random multi-episodic tale that catches my eye. None, however bring me excitement to see a new video posted. This channel does. I truly appreciate the quality work you do, it shows.
Thanks for reading, very Gothic! I like the old-world equivalent of "found footage", i.e. the found/acquired journal, something MR James did well. There is some great, evocative prose here. Yes, I do like "The Oracle of the Dog" and "The Wrong Shape" and think they're good Father Brown choices which I'm looking forward to. Some other stories it would be good to hear you read: From detective fiction, another Father Brown: "The Mirror of the Magistrate", and Poe's "The Purloined Letter", which in my estimation is one of the greatest short stories of any genre ever written. Also, from the annals of the supernatural, MR James' "Casting the Runes", with that unforgettable villain Carswell. Also from MR James, "A School Story."
Thanks Tony. Glad you enjoyed it. I like the "found footage" analogy! I need to remind myself of The Mirror of the Magistrate (I have read it, a long time ago) but will add it to my list. Also, I've got 'A School Story' and 'Casting the Runes' already on the to-do sheet, although not my next M. R. James (that's already in preparation...) but certainly intend to get round to them at some point. As for the Poe... yes indeed, that is a classic. Another one I need to re-read, but definitely one I'd like to tackle. Appreciate the suggestions, thank you!
I never connected the Victorian ‘found journal’ with modern ‘found footage’ stories of today. But yes, you’re quite right. I got fed up with found footage movies but don’t feel so now that you’ve pointed that out, I’m a big fan of M R James!
I read somewhere that Poe was the first to write in that style of Agatha Christie, John Dickson Carr, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, etc. It said these formidable authors followed his lead.
Thank you so much - since discovering this channel, have not watched the TV. The narrator Simon is superb - he gets it perfectly. The stories are beautifully written, sadly there are not many authors of today who could match them. Keep them coming - have listened to them all!!!
Was this the short story that inspired the vampire slayers genre? This has the feels of Buffy and Van Helsing. I also read Bram Stoker’s Dracula but that focused on the characters and lore more than the chase. Thank you Simon for bringing us this suspenseful tale!
It might be. It was first published soon after 'Dracula', so the genre was obviously becoming very popular at the time, although there are older vampire stories (such as Le Fanu's 'Carmilla') which were clearly very influential. Thanks for listening, as always!
Wow - how did I not know about this until now? And, superbly narrated - many thanks! Seems very Dracula-indebted: a fascinating thing, if so - Stoker's success in shaping the lore, and so quickly! But with an intriguing complex Church of England variation, too - with insufficiently "more things in heaven and earth"-aware clergyman and some astonishing Caroline "mortar".
Wonderful as always You have the talent to make it seem as if it were the first time I had ever hear the tales you tell . I just might however have to adjust my Sunday evening rule and binge ( What a hardship !) this week so that I catch up up. in time for your new renditions Thank you so much RNK
Glad to know you enjoyed it Bob. Actually, I may have to have a slightly longer than usual gap before the next upload (tbc, but only a week or so I hope) to fit around some other commitments, so you will have time to catch up!
Excellent narration and I just finished listening to when I found the "lead into the story" from a few days ago. Thanks for sharing this with me. It was very enjoyable.
Interesting that the word, “Marauder,” was used in connection to lycanthropy. Reminds me of Harry Potter. Thanks for sharing this one. Your chilling narration always brings the story to life in a uniquely vivid way
Interesting! The general framework reminds me strongly of M.R. James's "An Episode of Cathedral History", though with specifics of the haunting & backstory both much more explicit and as well as Dracula-derived. Thank you, this was (as always) a great reading, and a story I had never encountered before!
It would be such an untasteful thing to lie about that ghost encounter. Shame you couldn't find any first hand accounts. Thanks for sharing! Very interesting
Didn’t make it to the end of this one, dear Simon. Don’t enjoy vampire stories. 😬 So, I’ll be watching and waiting for something else to appear on your menu to sink my teeth into. By the way, you’re brilliant, and despite the sanguinary topic, it was a joy to hear your voice. (I’m still in the club, right?)
Delighted to know you're still in the club Rachel! I'm glad to say I'm preparing something else for you to get your teeth into right now... another M. R. James. Check out the community tab later today (or possibly tomorrow, if I can't get it done in time!) for a members' preview.... Thanks so much for your support
I am a huge fan of Revenant stories. One of my favorite quintologies is ths Necroscope series by Brian Lumley that dates back to the late 80's/early 90's. You would make a great narrator for them all. Although the series is now 17 books long, the first five are the only ones I read, so many decades ago.
Thanks for the recommendation Dean. I don't know those stories or the author, I'll look them up. I assume you mean the 1980s rather than 1880s, which may rather put it outside the scope of this channel, which needs to be public domain for copyright reasons, but I'm interested in ideas for stories which I might be able to narrate for other platforms in future, so appreciate the suggestion!
@@BitesizedAudio You're so very welcome :) Yes, and no, technically they are classics since the first five are mostly over 25 years old. As for the public domain aspect, I'm confident that Brian Lumley would give you permission to read them as audiobooks. You should read the first book, Necroscope, it had me seriously hooked by the middle of the first chapter. I think it's a far superior series than Anne Rice's Lestat series, which are still very good in their own right. As Anne Rice dates her novels as more Victorian era, Lumley's is more modern age.
Glad you enjoyed it! Regarding your question, if I remember the story correctly, I don't think she was a fully fledged vampire when she was strangled, was she? Perhaps she was just a disciple, and became a proper vampire after being killed...?
@@BitesizedAudio And Bob's douze points goes to... cher Simon. C'était sublime. You always get my vote but my goodness that was a goodie par excellance. ❤
That is odd indeed. I just checked my "Held for review" folder which I always forget to check, sometimes YT - for reasons I don't really understand - quarantines innocent comments there (while allowing the occasional rude or unpleasant one through of course!) ... but it's not there. Do try again, or perhaps edit an existing comment to add it?
IF she only dined on sheep and chickens, why the fuss? I bet as a Countess she had the $ to pay for them. Probably ate less red meat than before she became the undead.

"A bitesized audiobook". Very appropriate for this tale.
So many vampire tales but this one is unique and focuses more on the humans and their struggles than the vampire's doings. Well done!
I don't normally enjoy anything with vampires, but this was quite good. Thankyou.

One striking thing about this tale though:
How could a peasant woman strangle a fully powered vampyre?
