Great read. I've just started really consuming audiobooks and am a little surprised at how picky I am with narrator voices. You are among the very best!
I agree. Some readers are so bad they cannot be tolerated. A great shame because there are some good books being attempted. As far as I know there are no recordings of George Orwell's voice but the guy who reads Homage to Catalonia sounds just right to my ears.
I enjoy your Sherlock Holmes's adventures audio work , because that is how I was first introduced to your channel, but I must admit, anything you voice , is a great listen . Well done once again.
This is still probably one of the scariest stories, not helped by seeing it’s namesake in a museum in Bruges. Beautiful read as always Greg! Thank you... I think!
How is it I have not found you sooner? It's wonderful to find someone who does these other spooky Conan Doyle stories in addition to the Holmes ones and with such an excellent narration. Subscribed.
yes I like the spooky ones. ta angela
Ugh. Conan Doyle has managed to surprise me yet again. Poignant reading, too. Bad dreams tonight, perhaps!
Great job, as usual, Greg. You are tops.
cheers Mity
Best reader ever.
Avenue de Wagram - okay, okay!!!
This story started me in reading 'other' stories (non-Sherlock) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Excellent... Thank you...!
This story is based on rhe fate of the murderess la Marquise de Brinvilliers, who was "put to the question" by water torture.
It reminded me of the first time, at age 12, I took Poe’s stories off the school library shelves at random and read "Pit and the Pendulum" Had no idea what was going on - "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition" - but it scared me stiff!
Two of the greatest horror stories ever!
Very creepy.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio So, waterboarding has been around for quite some time. Though the first recorded use of it by the US goes back to the supression of the Philippine independence war in 1900.
Charles Dexter Ward..... I thought it was just me🙂, I'm very picky about narrator's voice too. Try Valley of Fear..... It's excellent.
Yes! Thank you so much, this is my favourite of his Fire stories:)
Bit dark, ain't it?
Thank you !
While I am not a great fan of ACD's non Sherlock Holmes stories, especially since he was so firmly entrenched in the occult. This reading may cause me to reconsider my previously derived opinion. We shall see.... Thank you to all involved.for a quality upload, regardless of how I feel about this story at it's completion.
Many were not the occult keep an open mind!!!
what's so terrible about the occult?
Excellent reading Greg 🎼
She had it coming!
well that was disturbing
We aim to please.
thanks - i thought it would be - i am now turning it off. 17:50
Surely you are aware that many writers in high renown have mental disturbance in their histories, Doyle included. But then perhaps that allows them to write such hideous descriptions. Also given the times of which they write, practices against villains as they saw them were pretty horrific. Remember Lady Bathory? As a young child she witnessed her father cut open the horse of a poor man who had practiced petty theft, and then he sewed the man into the horse, alive. Reading these stories you are destined to be exposed to tedious cruelties.

This is a mighty tale of the macabre ! Thank you ( again ) Mr. Wagland. The character of Dacre was superbly rendered by both author and narrator.
That being said I am not sure which I found more disturbing. The story itself or Mr. Waglands choice of artwork which is ( suitably ) deranged. I find it simultaneously grotesque and compelling.
Can anyone furnish me with the name of the painter and picture please ?
What?? Am I the only one listening to this now? shame on you. Greg is the best story teller listen once. You'll never listen to anyone else Thank you very much reading this much love
The Leather Funnel sounds rude lol
Anthony Demitre Ha ha!
That was truly a tale of unease... :/
Yes. It's a tad unsettling. Maybe he got out of bed on the wrong side when he came up with that one.
👍👍👍🌹💖
I wasn't expecting BDSM out of Conan Doyle.
There's nothing new under the sun, they say.
He said, "The Leather Funnel" in the introduction as though it was a very sad word...
I did.
Second one today that I didn't understand the ending. Somebody please explain it to me unless it's gruesome.
Umm, it's gruesome...
Sir would you like to read out my books ... something like Sherlock Holmes pitched in the India Environment
That was a horrible story. Well read, but awful story nonetheless.
It's not all that pleasant, I agree.
Gross, but it reminds me of a device I heard about years ago, a simple funnel that allowed a woman to pee standing up, a small feminist victory. I can only wonder if an imaginative man finding such a funnel inscribed with a noblewoman's name, would choose, rather than seeking out the simple practical truth, to let his overactive suggestible and prurient imagination to come up with a story like this...
Prurient. - great word!
Interesting stuff, Dan.
Seems like YOU are the only one inclined to think that way, Dan.
@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio prurient is a great choice word to describe Dans, slightly obsessive thought patterns.
