What an amazing story! Fantastic picture for this video. Your narration is perfect. Pretty soon after starting, "The Picture in the House" came to mind. I rubbed my hands greedily, sat back, and enjoyed. Lush hair and perfect skin... And, yes, nobody has that much "ivory" in their house. Instant lightbulb! Your music and background noise are so awesome. Totally sets the mood!
I’ve listened to literally dozens of radio plays and this narrator is fantastic. I’ll be searching for more stories by this gentleman. An expat in Florida.
Jasper deserves so much more love and subscriptions. I look forward every week to the newest uploads and missed him dearly during his holiday. So happy you're back 🎉
@@EnCryptedHorror also I forget do you have tierdoms of subscriptions? I could afford a few more dollars a month, which probably doesn't help. Where I'm at in the US, you can't walk out your door in the morning (if you have one) without spending 50$ . It's rough
I dont know why people dont tap into that childhood rite of passage of having a story read to you. So beneficial and enjoyable in every way Mr. Ottermoles Hands by Thomas Burke still my favorite. If i had the money i would pay to accompany the readings with animations
Those of us who know your work are absolutely bowled o er bu your signature style. We all hope that your channel gains the recognition that you and it so clearly deserve. Thank you mr L'estrange for all your wonderful hard work. I do grequently forward to pals my particular favs....thats quite a few. Thanks again.
*I think it is terrible that this fantastic channel has only 7.4k subscribers! Come on folks! Spread the word! These are excellent tales told by an extremely talented narrator. He deserves better for all this hard work. If you are reading this and haven't subscribed.....why not? It's free!* (dibs to Trevor C for the strapline. 😊)
Thank you, Jasper. I remember reading this story when I was sixteen. I am sixty-four now and have recalled it over the years but could not find it or remember the title or who wrote it. What a treat! To come upon it again, after all these years. And so masterfully told. I truly enjoyed listening.
That's really good to know. This channel has been a journey of discovery and rediscovery for me too, as I've returned to those vintage anthologies. This one I plucked from Alfred Hitchcock's "Stories That Scared Even Me", a volume I almost certainly would have devoured as a kid.
@@EnCryptedHorror It is quite likely that it was in that Alfred Hitchcock volume that I came across the story, as I remember subscribing to the magazine, as well as reading copies in the school library. I also tend to enjoy the older works over the new ones more, though there are exceptions. I think the older writers often had a better grip on creating atmosphere as well as leaving things to the imagination. Seems the trend today, for many, is to try to spell it all out; and in doing so, in my opinion, much of the horror and mystery is lost in the giving of too much detail. Thanks again for sharing these amazing tales with us and making them such a pleasure to listen to.
@@shadownet3dI'm 39, but I think I can confidently say that a lot of what gets published today is dung. 🙄 When I read in a book lauded in a UA-cam review "He could feel someone else's body laying next to him", it was the last coffin in the nail of contemporary literature for me. So many books that are praised abs receive awards are, in my view, an utter waste of time. And yes, writers WERE able to create atmosphere way better. Daphne du Maurier and M. R. James are my favourite, but I was also surprised by now palpable a dread Christie's "And Then There Were None" created.
I can imagine what a satisfying surprise it must have been! I myself had that with a childhood story I'd read that I found some 15 years later. It felt like finally scratching an itch, or like a little Eureka! lightbulb moment.
Ohhh😮 this one is a creeper! What a wonderfully sinister tale! You always choose the best stories! Your voice and style of storytelling could stand on its own but mixed with your perfect timing and choices of music and sound is just masterful! You’re a wizard Jasper! Simply the best! Thank you!🐙
Incredibly narrated- the gentle and steady building of the ominous. The traveler was a simple, complacent, and submissive man. Easily amused. And too quick to dismiss the dread he felt. I dare say, this is one of your best stories. You do such wonderful work, Jasper- thank you!
That was a pretty gruesome tale excellently narrated by you and augmented by your sound effects/music! Poor Mr. Bond! I look forward to the stories you share with us when you can, never knowing what to expect. You have introduced me to authors I was not familiar with before, and I appreciate that! As a late-comer to your channel, I have been listening to previous installments when I'm in the mood for the macabre and enjoying them immensely! Thank you so much for sharing your talent, time, and humor with us! Take care.
I was really hoping Mr Bond would escape! Wonderful descriptions of feral children in this story. Seems fitting that the writer was called 'Nugent'.... Such a weird name. Thank you as always Jasper, that piece of sound track with kids voices in it hit the mark!
Well done, like this story.. those Alfred Hitchcock collections were the source of so much talent and so many great stories.Unfortunately, so many have fallen into obscurity, glad you bring them out to the light of day, wish I was in a position to contribute financially.. so many things I would like to hear
I’ve been listening to this wonderful channel for some months and am so happy to have this superb story teller available . It has made life so much more interesting, lively and Gothic. I think Jasper is an inspired man, and extremely talented. Thank you so much.
The brothers from hell...😱 Don't remember this one either, but it reminds me of a couple of other stories I've come across. So sinister. I don't think I'll forget it. Thanks.
I shared with all my people, all three of them. Never campaigned for anyone or anything before. You're that good. Wish I were rich enough to help materially.
Sir Jasper were have you been I have been hoping you and Tony were doing more work together man you guys nail it every time and you always bring some twisted story and for that . I thank you for everything but keep going please 🙏
Hi, yes, I'm still working with Tony on his Ashridge series, episode 5 just out now. And I've had a few stories of my own out so far in September, with more on the way...
Thanks for a wonderful narration of this creepy little tale. For better or worse the ratings on sites such as Trip Advisor have put an end to bad motels like the brother’s Inns.
[Spoiler Alert] "No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die." Thankful you find jewels like these to perform for us, Mr L. New one to me & actually saw it like an episode of X Files as you spoke. ❤
A new one for me, although I see from Wikipedia that Mr Barker lived a block from where my father grew up (and died the same year that he was born). This one was almost like a fairy tale, with the repetition of a trio of similar but slightly different experiences, the motif of the three brothers who each possess a different skill, the dark and knowing humour, the author winking at the reader over the head of the hapless protagonist, even the vague geography of the strange and forested mountain valleys. Like something out of Grimm. Sasserach is a strange choice of name. I don't think I've ever encountered it before, although it's very similar to the ethnonym "Sassenach." Odd.
@@JT_Soul Yes, I looked up Sasserach as a surname (and also made the "sassenach" connection) but came up with nothing. I assumed the story might take place in Ireland, but situated it in Northern England for my reading (to spare you my attempt at an Irish accent). I agree about the fairytale/folk tale quality. I took the story to be a sort of "seven ages of man" allegory, or something about the circle of life...from hungry child through middle age spread to clapped out old age and finally... Then repeat.
@@EnCryptedHorror I like that interpretation. I think there's definitely something to the fact that each brother had his own distinct cohabitants: the first's wife, the second's manservant, and the last's children (curiously, with no mother mentioned).

@@EnCryptedHorror ohhh, yes he did! I held back from commenting more, lest I be tar and feathered as a "spoiler"! The writer included plenty of hints.
@@EnCryptedHorrorhis first name definitely wasn’t James!
No so much a man of action as a man of inaction 😁
@@sueatkinson3553 ha! Lol!
Nice to discover a new writer!

What a well written story, it has an unsettling, dreamlike quality. The narration and production on this channel are superb.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, Mr. L’Estrange, for your consistently superior readings of superior stories. It’s so nice to know I can depend on you.
Thank you, glad you think so. There's been a few clunkers along the way, but something for everyone, I always hope 😁

Ewww this was sooo creepy...very well written, and brilliantly read as always, Jasper 🙏
Thank you so much 🙏
Good one Mr Jasper!

Marvellous ! A new Jasper reading - my fall night is complete with dry rustling leaves and snoozing cats.
Superior reading, for sure💫👍
So good!!!!

I dont want a Lecter about how i cooked this broth, Hannibal...( I dont even know yet at Five minutes but i have my suspicions)
