Count Magnus

"Count Magnus" draws readers into the dread that slowly overtakes Mr Wraxall, an English traveller researching the history of a Swedish manor house. His obsessive fascination with Count Magnus de la Gardie — a nobleman rumoured to have made a sinister "Black Pilgrimage" — leads him to visit the count's locked mausoleum one too many times. Each visit loosens another padlock on the copper sarcophagus. What follows Wraxall home across Europe is never fully described, but the horror it leaves behind is unmistakable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
