À propos de cet audio

A young man who was exiled from his love for one year due to the wishes of her parents, finds himself in Paris. With not much else to do to pass his time, having seen most of the city and its suburbs, he begins exploring further away from Paris itself. His wanderings lead him to a strange, dusty village and into the dangerous house of an even stranger couple.

At first he is thoroughly entertained by the conversation the odd old woman has to offer him, and even more engrossed once her strange husband joins the conversation as well. But soon he is overwhelmed by discomfort and realizes that there is something not right about the situation. As he finds himself fleeing for his life, he discovers the eery occurrence of burial by rats.

About the author: Bram Stoker (1847-1912) was an Irish writer of novels and short stories, most famous for his gothic horror novel Dracula. Although he wrote throughout his life while working as a personal assistant and theatre manager, he did not achieve much literary fame until after his death.

A solid short, expertly narrated by James Langton for Audible. First appearing in the Jan. 26, 1896 edition of Lloyd’s Weekly News, this short story is about a young British gentleman who is bored in Paris, so he wanders for new adventures. He happens upon a community of rag-pickers, living in a rat-infested hovel, and gets more adventure than he bargained for!

The language is outdated but the themes of how the marginalized and PTSD-riddled get lost in the general hustle and bustle of modern life are still poignant today.

Interesting and still relevant
