"The Chinese Apple" by Marjorie Bowen

Returning, somewhat reluctantly, to her childhood home to rendezvous with her recently bereaved niece, Isabelle Crosland soon becomes entangled in a sinister mystery. This original recording is an audio presentation by Jasper L'Estrange for EnCrypted Horror. “THE CHINESE APPLE” by Marjorie Bowen (1948). You can hear me discuss this story by becoming a channel member and listening to an upcoming episode of The EnCrypted Postmortem, my bonus show for paying YouTube channel members and Patreon supporters. CREATOR’S NOTE: These recordings contain sound effects and music because that’s what I personally like to listen to, and what I enjoy making. As you will see from the comments, a lot of the listeners also like it. If it’s not your thing, please feel free to listen to the many other narrators who are voice-only. I’m sure they’ll be glad to hear from you. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Supporting my work If you like, you can donate in the following ways: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/encryptedpod YouTube channel membership: https://www.youtube.com/c/EnCryptedClassicHorror/join One-off donation: https://ko-fi.com/encryptedpodcast You can now also say THANKS (on YouTube) with a SUPER THANKS!
