Haunted Tales of Darkness - The Travelling Grave - by L.P. Hartley - Read by Christopher Halton

Tonight’s story is The Travelling Grave — one of the strangest and most unsettling tales ever written by L. P. Hartley. What begins as a seemingly civilized weekend gathering at an English country house gradually descends into something deeply macabre, as a group of guests discover that their eccentric host possesses a disturbing fascination with antique coffins… and a newly acquired creation known only as The Travelling Grave. Blending dark humor, psychological unease, and understated horror, Hartley constructs a tale in which polite conversation and deadly intent coexist beneath the surface of English gentility. A classic example of restrained British supernatural fiction, this story remains as unnerving today as when it was first published.
