"An Evening's Entertainment" by M.R. James

A grandmother warns her grandchildren not to pick blackcurrants where they grow in a particular spot in the village. When asked why, she relates to them a strange piece of local history. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “AN EVENING'S ENTERTAINMENT" by M.R. James, 1925.TECHNICAL NOTE: I'm having some trouble with my recording microphone - probably to do with humidity. I ended up recording this story three times before I got a decent audio and there are even some rough parts in this one which I've done what I can with. Hopefully it won't affect your enjoyment too much.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀About the story:"An Evening’s Entertainment” by M.R. James.
