"The Next Heir" by H. D. Everett

"The Next Heir" by H. D. Everett

A Canadian soldier journeys to England in response to an advertisement seeking the heir to his ancestral home Quinton Court. On visiting his cousin, a strange and invalid antiquarian, he uncovers dark secrets and begins to question whether he should accept the mantle of…the next heir. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Next Heir” by H. D. Everett (1920). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to episode 16 of The EnCrypted Postmortem (uploaded soon). CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’s what I like to make and listen to. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I’m sure they’ll be glad to hear from you. I do accents and voices to help distinguish between characters. Again, if that’s not your thing, look elsewhere. If you think my Canadian sounds like he comes from the wrong part of the world, please remember I’m a hobbyist, not Michael Sheen. If you want to complain about my microphone and production quality, links are below for you to send me money to invest in better equipment.

"The Black Stone Statue" by Mary Elizabeth Counselman

"The Black Stone Statue" by Mary Elizabeth Counselman

The resident of a rundown boarding house becomes intrigued when a familiar face comes seeking a room. The man has returned from South America with a strange story and even stranger cargo. But will it be his undoing…?

This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “The Black Stone Statue” by Mary Elizabeth Counselman (1937).

You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to episode 13 of The EnCrypted Postmortem. (Due to various issues episodes 12 and 13 will be delayed.)

NOTE: My recordings are intended to be an immersive experience featuring music and sound effects. If you don’t like these elements, there are plenty of narration channels that don’t have them and they’d love to hear from you. This is a hobby/side hustle. I’m an amateur at sound recording and production but I do my best to make something listenable. I do voices to differentiate between characters but I’m not a professional voice actor or narrator. Some of these stories are old and contain words and attitudes you might not like. They do not necessarily represent the views of…well…me. Sometimes a pet dog or cat will die. Horribly.

"Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole

"Mr. Huffam" by Hugh Walpole

I hope you indulge me with this reading of a charming seasonal story by Hugh Walpole that is mysterious, maybe, but not in any way horrific... This heralds my upcoming season of Christmas ghost stories.

Faced with economic uncertainty and personal strife, Christmas seems a very gloomy prospect for everyone, including the wealthy Winsloes. But the arrival of a mysterious stranger, whose personality harks back to less cynical times, has a magical effect on the family and those around them.
