- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 มิ.ย. 2021
- A story with a twist in its tale set in Venice written by an American master of the genre from the mid 20th Century. The language is amazing-Russell was an exceptional writer of baroque prose. You probably won't see this one coming

Excellent story and brilliantly read. The ending to this one is a great twist. Truly horrific. 👍
I love Venezia -- so I love the Venezia angle 🤩
Wow! Fantastic---thanks for the great story, never heard of it before. Very nice reading with lots of vocal variety. I loved your intonation against the infernal telephone, lol!
yeah those novelty telephone things will never catch on
(btw my dad said the same thing about computers and the internet and remote controls and cell phones etc lol)
Ooo thank you for this. I can't wait until this evening when I can settle down to listen! I do enjoy Ray Russell's stories. Unholy Trinity is one of my favourite books with three wonderful stories by him - Sanguinarius, Sardonicus and Sagittarius. Sanguinarius being my favourite!
I've listened to Sardonicus and really liked the mood of it, but didn't know the author. Thank you for the somewhat unintended recommendation/help, I'll be looking for the book now!
@@colemarie9262 Unholy Trinity is quite difficult to get hold of I think but there's another another collection called Haunted Castles which is easier to find. It contains the three 'S' stories along with the one beautifully read here by Tony and Comet Wine, The Runaway Lovers and The Cage.
Ohhh, this is good! Great job, Tony!
Interesting story. I hoped, at first, it ended with Carlo/Carlos yelling to the sky, his head thrown back. However, the question as to whether the host was the baby adds another twist.
This is another well-written story. It is sort of tragic and sad, just like Sardonicus.
I love your discussions after the stories, especially when you mentioned "The Sweeper". Your narration of "The Sweeper" is fantastic. I like that one too!
Thanks, and great job!
Beautiful scenery. Beautiful people. Similiarity with the painting of adam and eve. Here carlos was the snake that slowly pull them to their downfall. At the height of their love, tragedy strikes. Their love story was a precursor to their tragedy.
What The Hell!
You constantly bring to me awesome stories that I am wooed by. But this, dear sir!
So awesome. Thank you and good morning 🤍
Good marking and you're welcome
Fabulous!!!!
Isnt it?
Sublime, bravissimo! Held my breath...
Enjoy your research info as much as your reading and the stories. Feels like a literature course w/o the work parts. Appreciate you greatly and your talent and voice[s].
Voices! I sometimes think I enjoy myself too much doing the accents
I recently read a book in which the son wanted to fly, and the father referred to airplanes as toys or a passing fancy that wouldn't last. LOL This is a terrible story, Tony. That's why it's so good, I guess. Thanks for all your stories. Looking forward to the next one...
As you read I pictured Vincent Price and a beautiful Roger Corman-esq set. I really think VP would have enjoyed this as much as I did.
He would have done it beautifully
Beautiful. Painting vividly with words. Thank you for your expressive presentation and commentary. Please continue what you do. Thank you.
Thanks Marti
@@ClassicGhost I ḿ the one who says thanks for all of your intensive hard work.
DAMN!!!
Being Italian I find this story delicious 😋 thank you
He’s a good writer. I actually have 2-3 stories set in Italy. Have you listened to The Tower? It’s set near Florence
I love this story so much that I listen to it almost weekly. I have enjoyed most of the stories you share with us and go back to your playlists more than any other channel.
I see you have adopted a similar Venetian mask. I am going to do Sardonicus one day. I like that story.
@@ClassicGhost yes! I LOVE that story! Can't wait to hear you bring it to life.
It's 4am and as usual I'm not able to sleep. And here among a Tony Walker playlist I have created is a diamond among many gems. A brilliant story, brilliantly performed. A magical way to relax. 💜
I always love to listen to your stories .
Not a ghost story but like you said a horror story. Very machiavelic story.
Awesome. I love Ray Russell (Sardonicus, mainly) but I've not read/heard this one before. *rubs hands*
It’s good.
@@ClassicGhost Props where they're due: lovely Italian pronunciation, Antonio
Two of my favorite TH-camr channels! I love both of your content!
@@ginabeena6757 Hi Gina, glad to hear you're enjoying the stories.
No.3 of today
Horrifying end!
BRAVO 👏 I LOVED this! Both the story and your brilliant reading ❤ I'll definitely keep it in my library for future listening. The accompanying artwork is gorgeous. Even though I find Venetian masks a bit creepy I'd still love to have it for my bedroom wall. Thank you for leading me to an author previously unknown to me. Is there a particular available collection you recommend?
Yes, get Haunted Castles by Ray Russell
@@ClassicGhost Thx Tony...I'll order today!
I really enjoy the stories you choose and the pacing and tone of your voice. The one thing I would say, ( and I'm sure this is my own idiosyncracy, and not a popular opinion), is that I have difficulty listening to the type of microphone that picks up every little noise the mouth makes. That's my only issue.
Ah. I try to use a voice de-click
App and go through and take out most breaths. That’s what takes the time really, not the reading
Terrible, awful, a great story. Thanks for posting.
As you say, very Gothic, and yes, if the vendetta business was true, just terrible. More like Greek tragedy...
