I'm glad that's your opinion, Brewskin. I was concerned that it might offend someone. I think it will offend some listeners, but it was not intended to mock a handicapped person. E.E.F.
Excellent reading as always; can you read the Sumuru series by Sax Rohmer like you did with the Insidious Dr Fu Manchu? 😊 I have been looking everywhere for an audio recording of the Sumuru stories to no avail; your reading of Fu Manchu is my favorite.
Interesting tale, though the ending was a bit abrupt. The narration, however, lifts it to another level. The almost unintelligible boy is very well done, and I particularly like the old coot at the end. You can almost see the overalls and lack of teeth.
I agree about the ending. The body of the narrative and the characters drew me to it. I heard someone else doing straight reading of it online- no vocal characterizations- and realized that the interesting challenge was creating a compassionate vocal characterization for that boy. I think the experiment worked, even though you can't understand everything he says. Cheers. E.E.F.
"White was constantly plagued with financial difficulties and in 1934, seven years to the day after the death of his wife, Agnes Gerry, he committed suicide by gas inhalation in the bathroom of his Baltimore home." Man, that's dark.

I'm having a Spooky Sunday rather than a Sinister Saturday. Thank you, Mr French. 🇬🇧
You're welcome. "Spooky Sunday" works too. Cheers. E.E.F.
So good to hear from you again, Mr. French.
Thanks, Marty. E.E.F.
Wonderfully chilling campfire tale. Well done! I could see the farm boy as clearly as if he were standing before me.
Yes. Definitely of the "campfire tale" genre. Not terribly surprising, but satisfactory on an early autumn night. Thanks for tuning in. E.E.F.
That cleft palate voice! Masterful character narration!

@@FrenchEdward06 Oh no, sympathetically delivered!

Always a joy to see a new performance from you. I'd love to see a live chat with you. I imagine you have some tales from the set we'd eat right up. ❤
I've never explored that avenue of communication with listeners- I will eventually. Cheers. E.E.F.
Another great reading from the Fiction Fantastique!
You make us blush, @tomsenick2033p. E.E.F.

@@FrenchEdward06I could understand everything 💜
@@FrenchEdward06 You certainly succeeded in the vocalisation of the boy. I can imagine how a 'straight' reading would fall flat.
Well done as always...thank you.
Thank you sir! Enjoyed right after breakfast this morning
Glad you ate before listening. (LOL) E.E.F.
"White was constantly plagued with financial difficulties and in 1934, seven years to the day after the death of his wife, Agnes Gerry, he committed suicide by gas inhalation in the bathroom of his Baltimore home."
Man, that's dark.
Exactly. It's depressing enough to begin with, but when you find out he had to live in Baltimore it becomes downright morbid.
Such a creepy and terrifying story 😮
Nice, Thank you kindly.
👏😂 i remember this story . goodnight to you mr ed 🧡
Cheers and pleasant dreams, Joanne. E.E.F.
Greetings my friend. I hope you are well. 💜
I'm well...And YOU too, I hope. E.E.F.
