- A full unabridged audiobook of the classic short story, "The Compensation House", by Charles Collins - complete with sounds and visuals.
The story tells of a young man plagued by a phobia of mirrors, whom our narrator encounters on one of his explorations of the lines from Mugby Junction. As the narrator interviews both the man's valet and doctor, the grim truth of this unnatural fear begins to rear its ugly head.
"Mugby Junction" is a set of short stories written in 1866 by Charles Dickens and collaborators Charles Collins, Amelia B. Edwards, Andrew Halliday, and Hesba Stretton. It was first published in a Christmas edition of the magazine All the Year Round.
Read by Elliot Fitzpatrick.

I loved this story! It was very engaging throughout. Thank you so much for this.
You’re very welcome, Esther
Great voice, wonderful reading. For me the voice and the phrasing can affect whether I want to listen to a story or not. I've lost track of the number I have clicked out of within the first minute. I'm glad I found you - subscribed and liked.
Brilliant! Thanks for subscribing, Ashby ❤️
Thank you
You’re welcome! Thanks so much ❤️
I love this collaborative storytelling, by experienced literary persons, who have decidedly imaginative craftiness to weave these short story webbings that connect with the Mugby Junction center; and as they were, I give my appreciation towards Charles Dickens & his contemporaries; however, for esteeming these stories, bringing these lines into a modern re:railing on the uTUBE towards our everyday podcast-listening ears, a great appreciation & tradition is upheld! 💙📚📖🪄🎁 For your production, dramatization, consistency & sharing your literary tastes, I thank you!
That’s very kind of you to say, Evelan. I’ve really enjoyed this little collection of stories. And there’s one more to come! I may return to Dickens’ other collection, “The Haunted House”, after this
Very interesting story! Thank you for this video!
You’re welcome Sergey! Thanks for listening
Thank you so much 🌳
You’re so welcome!
This was new to me, so thank you very much!
Thanks so much for listening, Rosemary. This was a lovely one to narrate
I enjoyed this very Victorian short story, with its different narrators so well delineated. I couldn't help thinking, though, that the maidservants could have viewed their reflections in copper cooking pots or panes of glass in the windows (quite effective after dark)? And would such accidentally reflective surfaces have affected Mr Strange in the same way that mirrors did?
Glad you enjoyed this one, Katy!
Such an awesome tale. I was waiting for Count Dracule to make his appearance, please forgive the pun.
It’s fab isn’t it! Glad you enjoyed it
🎉🎉🎉🎉 amazing 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much!
I love it, thank you
Thank you so much!
Very Dickensian-who was Charles Collins?
It seems Collins was predominantly an illustrator who married Dickens’ daughter Kate. His older brother was the writer Wilkie Collins!
@@classicaudiobookswithelliot Wow, that background was really interesting. Thank you. Would love it if you would include such tidbits with your wonderful readings. Your choices are marvelous. Regards from Chicago 🏙️
