Phantastic Stories 003 Read By Gav Cross The Three Sisters by W. W. Jacobs

Certainly most famous for The Monkey’s Paw, W. W. Jacobs certainly liked a macabre tale when he wasn’t writing funny books about sailors or plays! I picked this one for a couple of reasons.Certainly to begin with I'm going to read the short of the short story is availableI'd like to work up to Reading longer supernatural tales, perhaps over a couple of episodes… This story appealed awesome because there is a melodrama to the whole thing. I can imagine it as an expressionist style black-and-white film from the early 20th century. Populated by those actors whose faces we recognise that means escape us.I also picked it because I will be reading “The Monkeys Paw and More…” Live on Halloween at Norton Priory.Supernatural tales in a building reputed to be haunted… But certainly where I stand overlooking the audience when I am performing at this venue I have to look at the archaeologically recovered human skeleton that is part of the exhibition. Quite a momentum Mori for me.Will you join me for that?https://www.nortonpriory.org/events.php?category_id=30 If not. Do not worry. I'll be back next Monday with another supernatural tale live.
